Finally a breather: Israel’s heatwave eases today, but reprieve won’t last long

Israel is set for a brief respite from the intense heat that has gripped the country in recent days. Today will see partly cloudy skies with a slight drop in temperatures and some relief from the oppressive heat stress that has affected much of the nation. The conditions should make for more comfortable weather across the country as clouds provide some protection from the sun’s intensity.

Friday is expected to bring more typical seasonal temperatures as the weather stabilises, offering Israelis another day of relative comfort before conditions shift. However, this break from the heat will be short-lived, with forecasters warning of a return to warmer conditions over the weekend.

Saturday will mark the beginning of a slight warming trend, with temperatures climbing and heat stress levels beginning to increase once more. The respite that many will welcome today and Friday is likely to last only through the end of the week, before more challenging weather returns.
