Starting tomorrow - real winter: starting from the evening hours of Monday, in three to four consecutive waves, Israel will be showered with showers that will probably last 7-10 days in a row.
Until then, it will be relatively warm and during the day people will even be able to walk in short clothes, since we will be affected by the warm part of the winter depression that penetrates the country, but after that the cold front of the depression will come in and a significant cooling will begin, and rain will fall from the north of the country to the north of the Negev.
On Thursday the first wave of rain will weaken, but in the evening another wave of rain will enter Israel which will be colder and therefore the possibility of snowfall in Hermon will increase.
The rains will continue on Friday, probably also on Saturday and Sunday, and maybe even after that.

In the meantime, due to the expectation of a continuous and long wave of rains, the Kinneret Drainage and Streams Authority warns against careless access to the various streams in the north of the country, and emphasizes that a distance of 3 meters must be maintained from the edge or side of the stream - both on foot and when traveling by car.
In addition, the authority recommends not to enter creeks in all-terrain vehicles due to the fear of sudden high waves, and reminds that it is necessary to cross a paved passage between the banks of a creek.
In addition to this, the authority is called upon not to enter water bodies due to the destruction that this entails for the various habitats within them.
