Israel is facing a heatwave continuing into the end of the week, with temperatures rising further and heavy heat burdens across the country. On Wednesday, after morning clouds clear, temperatures will increase slightly, especially in the mountainous and inland areas, where the weather will be hotter than usual and dry. The coastal plain will remain humid and stifling.
Thursday, coinciding with the Tisha B'Av fast, will see the peak of the heatwave. Following the dispersal of morning clouds, the day will be clear but remain hotter than normal in the mountains and inland, while the coast stays humid. Authorities advise fast observers to exercise caution by staying in air-conditioned places and avoiding prolonged sun exposure during peak hours.
Better weather is expected by the weekend. Friday will bring relief from the intense heat with temperatures dropping mainly in the mountains and inland areas, returning to seasonal norms. The morning will be partly cloudy, clearing up later with strengthening afternoon winds. Saturday's weather will remain pleasant and relatively comfortable for the season after morning clouds dissipate, with no significant temperature changes expected.
