According to the Meteorological Service, farmers can be satisfied with the amount of precipitation that fell during the "Carmel" storm. After the large deficit, in the north of the country and in the northern and central coastal plain, the cumulative amounts of rain from the beginning of the season are close to the average for the corresponding period and even exceed it and reach 110% to 120% of the average. This is especially noticeable on the central coastal plain with quantities of more than 150% of the average, while in the Gush Dan area they even reach almost twice the average for the corresponding period and about half and even two-thirds of the average for the entire season. A deficit still exists in the eastern and southern parts of the country. In the southern coastal plain and in the Judean mountains, only about half of the quantity decreased for the corresponding period, and in the northern Negev only about a third.

A report by Dr. Amos Porat, director of climatic services at the Meteorological Service, shows that during the Carmel storm, the first winter system to be named by the countries of the Israel-Greece-Cyprus region, 140 to 170 m fell in the central part of the coastal plain. And in the southern part of Gush Dan (Holon-Rishon Lezion-Ben Gurion Airport) dropped to 170 to 200 mm and even more (Ben Gurion Airport 221 mm, Mikve Israel 213 mm). Very large quantities were also received in the Sharon-Zichron Yaacov-Ramot Menashe-Shomron area, where 100 to 150 mm were measured. In the northern Golan and Upper Galilee, 80 to 120 mm decreased, in the southern Golan, Lower Galilee and in the Jezreel Valley, 60 to 90 mm decreased. In the northern coastal plain, in the southern coastal plain as well as in the Hula Valley and the Sea of ​​Galilee, it decreased by 50 to 80 mm and in the Haifa area by 70 to 90 mm. 30 mm,And in the Negev and the Jordan Valley - a few millimeters.

As a rule, quantities of about 200 mm in a period of three to four rainy days are received almost every year in some area in the north or in the center of the country. (More than 100 years ago at Mikve Israel and more than 80 years at Ben Gurion Airport) there were only 5 other cases in which similar or larger quantities were measured in a rain event, most recently in October 2000.

On December 21, large daily quantities were received and several stations in the area were measured more From 100 mm.

147 mm were measured in Mikve Israel and from the beginning of the measurements at this station there were only two other cases in which similar or higher values ​​of daily quantity were obtained: 199 mm in November 1938 and 148 mm in December 1954.

Also noteworthy are the strong winds that blew.

On Monday, December 20, with the entry of the deep depression, strong southwesterly to westerly winds blew and in many places winds were measured at speeds of 40 to 60 km / h with gusts of 70 to 90 km / h.

The strongest winds were measured in Itamar in Samaria and they reached a maximum speed of 83 km / h and a gust of 110 km / h.
