Israel is set to experience a significant heatwave over the coming days, with temperatures rising gradually from Wednesday through Friday. The heatwave will peak on Friday, bringing heavy to extreme heat burdens across most parts of the country. After a morning of cloud dispersal, temperatures will climb slightly today, especially in the mountainous and inland areas, increasing the heat stress.

Thursday will see a further slight temperature increase, with heat levels above seasonal norms mainly in the mountains and inland regions, accompanied by intensified heat burdens nationwide. Friday will bring another mild temperature rise, particularly in the mountains and inland, with hot and dry conditions expected. Coastal plains will experience humid and hot weather, with heat burdens reaching heavy to extreme levels across most areas.

A notable shift is forecast for Saturday, when temperatures will drop significantly, easing the heatwave and returning the weather to more typical seasonal conditions. Residents are advised not to be misled by recent rains and to prepare for the upcoming heatwave by using air conditioning as needed.
