Israel remains hotter than usual and dry in the mountains and inland on Tuesday, despite a slight temperature dip, while the coastal plain stays humid. Wednesday will bring renewed warming and heavier heat loads, especially inland and in the highlands. A further rise on Thursday is expected to produce hotter-than-usual to sharav conditions inland, with oppressive humidity continuing along the coast. Relief is forecast for Friday, when temperatures should fall back to seasonal norms; Tuesday's highs include 31°C in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, 40°C at Ein Gedi and 41°C in Eilat.
