Israel is set to experience a significant weather shift starting Tuesday, with forecasts predicting partly cloudy to cloudy skies and a drop in temperatures to seasonal norms. Localized rain is expected, particularly in the southern and eastern parts of the country. By the afternoon, these rains are forecast to intensify, bringing thunderstorms, wind gusts, and hail, with a high likelihood of substantial flash floods in the streams of the southern Negev, Arava, Judean Desert, and the Dead Sea region.
The weather is expected to remain unsettled through Wednesday, with partly cloudy to cloudy conditions persisting. A slight further decrease in temperatures is anticipated, especially in mountainous and inland areas. Localized rains, accompanied by isolated thunderstorms, will continue, primarily in the east and south, with ongoing risks of flash floods in the same southern and eastern desert wadis.
By Thursday, skies are expected to clear to partly cloudy, with another slight dip in temperatures. Localized rain showers may still occur in northern Israel, and strong winds are predicted across most regions.
Friday is forecast to be partly cloudy, with temperatures dropping further and becoming lower than average for this time of year in most areas. Light, localized rains are expected to continue in the north and may occasionally reach central Israel.
Temperature highs and lows for various cities include: Katzrin 26-19 (Celsius), Tiberias 27-21, Haifa 24-21, Tel Aviv 26-21, Jerusalem 23-17, Ashdod 26-22, Beersheba 27-20, and Eilat 30-23.
