*Weather update from Moshe in my weather-nerds group. It was unseasonable warm yesterday even though it was raining, a very rare event:*
We hardly got close to normal season temps yesterday but this season is a passing episode. From today warming and peak towards midweek. The better news that there is a possibility of a significant change later this month. So what is expected in the week coming:
Today [Saturday] – most of the time is bright with warming and a little hotter than usual for the season. Jerusalem 15 (60), in Shafela and the beach 1920
Sunday – another warming and hotter than usual.
Monday and Tuesday – visibly hotter than usual and dry.
Wednesday – gradual cooling.
About next weekend – hard to predict and at the end of the forecast range. Good chance of **quite winter weather** (a good chance we are leaving the rains behind) mainly towards Shabbat. There is no point in asking for more details right now but to follow another day or two.
The more interesting news is that immediately afterward a synoptic develops that can finally â²â² deliver the goods â²â² that this winter has not yet provided. This better happen because the window of opportunity for this won’t stay forever. This is far and updates will follow if needed in the days ahead. (note: at this point, the system is expected to only envelope the southern areas of the nation)
As you know it’s overlooking general lines.
*I hope you are noticing that the Israeli weather group is reporting what I have been witnessing to you all along. We have not had a normal cold season that usually accompanies the rain. Yes, we have had cold rains with cold temperatures but we have also had long stretches in between with temperatures more common of the dry season. Temperatures that bring the maturing to grains. Even the mosquitos and flies witness to me that they have not had a sufficient cold to deplete their numbers. It’s likely to be a rough year on the crops if the pests are not thinned out. My eyes are on the land, always watching to see what we are given. *Updated Feb 6, 2021, 8:07 AM
