On Monday, Israel experienced its hottest day of the year with temperatures reaching 44.7 degrees Celsius, the highest since last August's heatwave. The peak temperature was recorded at the Sedom station near the Dead Sea, where readings surpassed 40 degrees Celsius across southern regions including the Arava and Eilat. The previous day's record of 44.3 degrees at the same station was quickly surpassed.
Coastal areas such as Ashkelon, Nahariya, and Tel Aviv saw humidity levels around 74-75%, with temperatures near 30 degrees Celsius.
