Temperatures are set to rise significantly throughout the week, with most regions of Israel experiencing intense heat stress. Friday is expected to be considerably warmer than normal, with particularly hot and dry conditions forecast for the hills and inland areas, whilst coastal plains may also see uncomfortable conditions despite their proximity to the sea.
The heatwave appears to be temporary, with meteorologists predicting a marked drop in temperatures beginning Saturday. By the weekend, conditions are expected to return to seasonal norms across the country, bringing relief to residents and potentially easing pressure on the national electricity grid during the peak summer season.
The forecast comes as Israel enters its hottest months, when heat-related health warnings are typically issued and authorities advise residents to take precautions such as staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged sun exposure during peak hours.
