The heat will reach its peak tomorrow, with temperatures of 40 to 44 degrees Celsius. High and medium clouds will partially cover the sky, allowing localized drizzle in different parts of the country.
Fire Commissioner: No lighting fires • Keep an eye on vulnerable populations and animals • Breaking the fire - the day after tomorrow and Sunday. The heat is nowhere near the peak temperature recorded in Israel – 54 degrees Celsius – at Tirat Tzvi in the Beit Shean Valley in 1942. It is especially important to check the situation of disadvantaged populations – the elderly, infertile people, pregnant women and toddlers.
