Israel is currently facing a period of unseasonably hot weather, with temperatures climbing above the seasonal average, particularly affecting the northern and central regions. Brisk easterly winds are exacerbating the dry conditions in the hills, while eastern areas are experiencing hazy conditions. The heatwave is expected to persist through Saturday, prompting advisories from the Israel Meteorological Service, urging the public to take precautions against heatstroke and dehydration, especially for vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and those with chronic illnesses.
