- Israel's Meteorological Service predicts cooler temperatures and returning rain this week.
- Local rainfall is expected in northern and central Israel on Wednesday.
- Rainfall amounts could reach up to 10 millimeters in affected areas.
- No major, widespread rain system is forecast for the next ten days.
- Storm Charles has caused flooding in other parts of the Mediterranean.
Following an unusually warm weekend, the Israel Meteorological Service announced on Saturday evening that temperatures are expected to drop and rain will return later in the week. Strong easterly winds on Saturday, with gusts up to 40 kph, had caused temperatures to rise significantly in valleys, the coastal plain, and the Sharon region. Coastal areas like Haifa, Carmel Coast, and Emek Hefer, along with the Judean foothills, recorded highs of 30 degrees Celsius. Tel Aviv reached 27 degrees, and Jerusalem saw 25 degrees.
The forecast indicates a halt to the warming trend, with a gradual decrease in temperatures nationwide. A more significant change is anticipated for Wednesday, when local rainfall is expected to begin in northern and central Israel. The Meteorological Service noted that these rains could be intense at times, accumulating up to 10 millimeters.
Despite the upcoming rain, the service cautioned that a major, widespread rain system is not visible on the horizon for the next ten days. Since the significant rainfall event between November 4th and 6th, the weather in the region has been relatively stable. Currently, heavier rains are expected to remain in the central Mediterranean, following Storm Charles, which has already caused severe flooding from Portugal to southern Italy.
