The rainstorms that accompanied us during the last day of Passover are expected to stay with us a little longer, and on Thursday rain is still expected to fall sporadically in the north of the country and in the center, and there may be isolated thunderstorms.

It will still be colder than usual for the season, and there is a slight concern of floods in the northern Judean desert and the Dead Sea area. From noon, the rains will weaken and gradually stop, and the night is expected to be partly cloudy.

On Friday, there will be a significant increase in temperatures, but they will still be slightly lower than normal for the season.

What will the weather in Isreael be like over the weekend?

On Saturday there will be another significant rise in temperatures and they will return to normal for the season. In the morning, easterly winds will blow in the northern mountains.
