Across the country it will be hot and dry inland and the coastal plain will be steamy. Tomorrow (Friday) the weather will be clear, still warmer than usual and dry in the mountains and inland, and steamy in the coastal plain.
Later in the week, temperatures will drop and they will return to average for the season, but the Mediterranean Sea will also be dangerous for swimming. Meanwhile, the Israel Meteorological Service published a survey for last August, according to which the month was among the warmest that Israel has experienced since the beginning of the measurements, and is ranked as the fifth warmest, while in some parts of the country the month is positioned as the second warmest that Israel has experienced.

August is warmer than average
Dr. Porat, Dr. Amos Porat, Director of Climate Services at the Israel Meteorological Service, who analyzes last month, states that "August was considerably warmer than average, and compared to the past, it ranks fifth in terms of daily temperature in the series of spatial measurements from 1950. In the coastal plain and northern valleys, August ranks higher, and this is evident in the minimum temperature, where it ranks second. This was largely due to a prolonged hot period that prevailed during the month and included an unprecedented sequence of high minimum temperatures in the coastal plain and northern valleys. At the end of the month there was an unusual event of widespread rain with relatively large amounts of rain for the summer months."

The review also notes that "the warm August follows July, which was also considerably warmer than average, so this episode of the two main summer months was the warmest, along with July-August 2017, in the series of spatial measurements from 1950."
In terms of this month's analysis, "August can be divided into three parts in terms of the weather that prevailed in it. The first part, up to the 11th, where temperatures were close to average, but with a few warmer than usual days, the second part (12th to 24th) where the significant warm episode of the month prevailed, and the third part from the 25th to the end, where temperatures were close to average and sometimes lower than average, including rain."
