Following a warm start to November, rain is forecast to return to Israel beginning this Thursday. The Israel Meteorological Service announced that the weather system will commence in the morning hours in the country's north and may later extend to the central region. While acknowledging the forecast is for the longer term, meteorologists anticipate the rain could continue through the following weekend.
In the interim, the coming days are expected to be warmer than average. After dry easterly winds on Sunday, temperatures will rise over the next two days, reaching approximately 25 degrees Celsius in the mountains and 26 degrees in the coastal plain and lowlands on Monday.
The upcoming rainfall follows an exceptionally heavy rain event on October 27th, which caused widespread flooding from the Eilat Mountains to the Hermon, affecting neighboring Sinai, Jordan, and Syria. Some locations received about 60 mm of rain, with 50-55 mm falling in under an hour. In the Ramon Crater, the Ein Yahav research station recorded 35.6 mm in just ten minutes. This intense rainfall caused the Nekarot reservoir near Ein Yahav, with a capacity of 2.5 million cubic meters, to fill completely within an hour for the first time since its construction in 1975.
