Israel will see partly cloudy skies on Sunday with mid- and high-level cloud cover, and temperatures will remain slightly above average for the season.
Winds are expected to strengthen in the Negev in the afternoon, with possible haze. Light local rain is possible, mainly in eastern Israel. Overnight, heavy fog could reduce visibility along the coastal plain, in the Shephelah lowlands and in the northwestern Negev.
