Temperatures will drop over the weekend, with Saturday relatively comfortable for the season, according to N12 meteorologist Ilanit Adler. The coming week will open with a rise in temperatures, leading to a new heatwave beginning mid-week.
N12 meteorologist Ilanit Adler issued a follow-up forecast this morning, confirming that the weekend cooling trend will continue, with Saturday expected to be relatively comfortable for the season, and that a new heatwave is expected to begin mid-next week. This update, published at 05:53 Jerusalem, builds on Adler's earlier forecast from 05:51 today, which already noted the slight temperature drop and return to seasonal norms, and reinforces the timeline for the upcoming heatwave.
On Tuesday, Aug 4, at 05:56 Jerusalem, Adler first forecast the slight temperature drop and the return to seasonal averages, while also flagging the new heatwave expected mid-next week. Earlier that morning, meteorologist Lior Sudri had also forecast a slight drop. Adler's Tuesday forecast was the earliest mention of the new heatwave in the thread. Today's 05:51 forecast reiterated the cooling trend and the anticipated heatwave, and this update now confirms the schedule.
As The Zioneer reported on Monday, Aug 3, at 05:11 Jerusalem, Adler noted that the peak of the previous heatwave had passed, with a gradual temperature drop expected. The current forecast indicates that after a brief reprieve over the weekend, temperatures will rise again, leading to a new heatwave by mid-next week. This pattern is consistent with the seasonal cycle typical of August.
The exact intensity and duration of the mid-next week heatwave have not been detailed beyond the forecast. The Zioneer will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates.
