Israel Meteorological Service warns of upcoming unseasonably hot heatwave

The Israel Meteorological Service (IMS) has issued a warning regarding an unseasonably hot heatwave that began Sunday and is expected to intensify during the first half of the week. Dr. Amir Givati, IMS Director-General, stated that the heatwave will persist next week at varying intensities, with no immediate end in sight. The heat will be particularly severe in mountainous and inland regions, while coastal areas will experience muggy conditions, leading to significant heat stress across many parts of the country. This heatwave is part of a broader pattern affecting the entire Mediterranean region and southern Europe.
