The weekend ahead is marked by rising temperatures and heavier heat loads. This is a heaviness that is more suitable for mid-summer rather than early autumn, and is expected to be expressed, among other things, in an increase in humidity on the coast and in heavy temperatures in the north of the country and in the valleys.
This increase will be halted on Sunday, ahead of Yom Kippur itself, but despite the slight drop in temperatures, there will be high humidity that will make it very difficult for those fasting on the coastal plain.
