Wednesday will be clear and slightly hotter than seasonal across Israel, mainly in the mountains and inland, with humid conditions along the coast, according to meteorologist Lior Sudri. Mediterranean winds are 15–35 km/h with waves 60–120 cm. Temperatures range from 22°C in Safed and Mitzpe Ramon to 41°C in Eilat.
The Wednesday morning forecast from meteorologist Lior Sudri provides detailed conditions for today, including specific temperature ranges (22°C in Safed and Mitzpe Ramon to 41°C in Eilat) and coastal wind and wave data (southwest to northwest 15–35 km/h, waves 60–120 cm). The outlook calls for clear skies, slightly hotter than seasonal weather in the mountains and inland, and humid conditions along the coast.
This update is part of a consistent forecast thread that began on Monday, July 27, when multiple meteorologists—including Ilanit Adler (N12) and Channel 12—projected a gradual temperature rise over the week, with heavy to extreme heat stress peaking by Saturday and Sunday. The Monday forecasts (versions 2–11, all published at 07:07 Jerusalem) unanimously described a slight warming trend, with Adler specifically noting that the heatwave would reach its peak over the weekend, with temperatures 2–4°C above average.
As The Zioneer reported in earlier background bulletins, the region has been experiencing above-seasonal temperatures since mid-July. Monday's forecast (July 27) indicated partially cloudy conditions with a slight rise, and earlier reports from July 20 and July 17 also noted hot and humid conditions. The current Wednesday forecast aligns with this ongoing warming pattern.
While the immediate conditions for Wednesday are well-defined, the exact peak temperatures and duration of the heatwave later this week remain subject to updates as the weekend approaches. Further refinements from meteorologists are expected.
