The weather forecast issued Friday morning warns of extreme heat stress across all of Israel this weekend, with temperatures climbing up to 45°C (113°F) in some areas. The peak is expected on Sunday.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning, a heatwave has already arrived, with heavy to extreme heat stress forecast through the weekend. The updated forecast now specifies the upper temperature bound. Previous reports over the past week have tracked rising temperatures, with several bulletins noting intensifying heat stress across the country.
The extreme heat poses health risks, particularly for the elderly, young children, and those with pre-existing conditions. Authorities have advised the public to stay hydrated, avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours, and check on vulnerable neighbors. No official heat-related alerts have been issued yet beyond the routine forecast warnings.
