The days when most of the precipitation is expected are Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday, when localized rain and isolated thunderstorms are expected. On Monday and Thursday there may be light rain in some areas of the country. We note that towards the end of the week the Mediterranean Sea will be undulating with suitable conditions for surfing.
Following the possibility of rain, the Nature and Parks Authority announced that "at the beginning of the week there is concern of flooding in the basins of the Judean Desert and the Dead Sea. It is strictly forbidden to enter riverbeds on foot or by car until the water level completely drops - this is life-threatening! It is forbidden to approach the bank of a stream during a flood for fear of the collapse of the bank."

The cause of the autumnal weather on the one hand and the hot weather on the other is the Red Sea basin that moves towards the Mediterranean Sea and causes higher than average temperatures but also instability and rainfall.
