Fickle weather: In the next two days (Thursday and Friday), conditions are expected to prevail in most areas of the country, in light of which the Nature and Parks Authority will close some of its trails. On Saturday there will be a slight drop in temperatures, but there will be an increase in humidity that will increase the feeling of heat stress in the coastal plain.
However, on Sunday and Monday there is expected to be a real reversal in the forecast - cold air falling from Eastern Europe into the warm Mediterranean Sea, causing the development of large clouds that may reach Israel and drop precipitation. Therefore, these days there will be a drop in temperatures and a chance of localized rain throughout the country, with a slight chance of flooding in the eastern and southern swarms.
