Most of Israel will experience sharav conditions — hot, dry desert air — on Sunday, with partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies at high altitudes, according to the Israel Meteorological Service.
Along the coastal plain and in the lowlands, temperatures will dip slightly but will remain above seasonal averages. During the night, forecasters say reduced visibility will be possible in the southern coastal plain, the lowlands and the northern Negev.
On Monday, another slight drop in temperatures is expected along the coast and in the lowlands, though conditions will remain warmer than usual and locally sharavi in much of the country. Skies will be mostly clear to partly cloudy.
Temperatures will rise slightly on Tuesday, with continued hot and dry weather in most areas. Light local rain or drizzle may occur until noon, and the sky will remain partly cloudy later in the day.
By Wednesday, another small increase in temperatures is forecast, bringing sharav conditions to most regions. The sky will be partly cloudy with mid- and high-level clouds.
