Israel experienced an exceptionally cold night for this time of year, with temperatures plummeting to unseasonably low levels on Tuesday. The Israel Meteorological Service reported that the northern Golan Heights recorded lows between 1.5 and 4 degrees Celsius, while plains east of Acre and Shefayim saw temperatures of 4 degrees. Inland areas of the Sharon, the Shefela, and the Negev registered between 5 and 6 degrees Celsius.
According to the Meteorological Service, these temperatures are 6 to 8 degrees below the seasonal average for early November. In some regions, including the Shefela, the Jezreel Valley, and plains east of Acre, such low temperatures for the first half of November have not been recorded since 1995. The central coastal plain experienced its lowest temperatures since 2005, and the eastern valleys and the Negev since 2011. The service noted that this level of cold is more typical of the latter half of November.
The unusual cold is attributed to dry, cold air originating from the north that remained over the region after a trough passed through on Saturday. This air mass, having traveled minimally over the sea, did not warm significantly. Combined with clear skies and low humidity, these conditions allowed temperatures to drop sharply overnight.
