The worst of the heat is still ahead, followed by some relief over the weekend: This is the full Israel forecast for the coming days.

On Wednesday, skies will become clear after the morning clouds dissipate. Temperatures will rise slightly, mainly in the mountains and inland areas, and heat stress will intensify. Conditions will be hotter and drier than usual in the mountains and inland areas, while the coastal plain will remain hot and humid.

Due to the worsening heat, an extreme heat warning at the red alert level will be in effect in the Beit She'an Valley, the Sea of Galilee basin, the Jordan Valley, the northern Judean Desert and Dead Sea region, the southern Judean Desert and Dead Sea region, and the northern Arava from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. A red alert will also be in effect in the Hula Valley from noon to 6 p.m.
