The Israel Meteorological Service forecasts a warming trend and intensifying heat stress across most of the country this weekend, continuing into next week, according to the report on ynet.
The Israel Meteorological Service issued a forecast Thursday afternoon (Jul 16) warning of rising temperatures and intensifying heat stress this weekend and into the coming week. This extends the earlier forecasts from the same morning, which had warned of heavy heat stress on Saturday and further warming on Sunday. The new warning indicates that the heat stress will persist beyond the weekend.
The Zioneer's earlier bulletins on Thursday morning (06:09 Jerusalem) detailed a progression: the first forecast noted a clear day with above-seasonal heat and dangerous sea conditions; the second warned of moderate to heavy heat stress in the afternoon; the third, from i24NEWS, forecast heavy heat stress on Saturday and additional warming on Sunday. The new Meteorological Service forecast now projects the heat stress continuing into next week.
This heat wave is part of a broader pattern of above-seasonal temperatures this summer, which The Zioneer has been tracking. Previous bulletins (e.g., June 13, June 16, June 29) have reported similar warnings of intensifying heat stress across the country.
The initial report from the Meteorological Service did not specify exact temperatures or a geographic breakdown beyond 'most of the country.' The official advice to take precautions against heat-related illness remains in effect.
