Continuous and unabated precipitation in the last 24 hours has resulted in a significant rise of over 15 centimeters in the Sea of Galilee's water level. This surge brings the national lake's level to 210.65 meters, standing 1.85 meters below the upper red line.
Furthermore, the Jordan River has crossed the critical flow threshold of 100 cubic meters per second, registering a flow of 115 cubic meters per second at the water authority's hydrological station at the P'kak Bridge. This marks a peak flow in the Jordan River during the current rainy season.
The forecast indicates intermittent rain, primarily in northern Israel and the coastal plain, accompanied by isolated thunderstorms. Local rain is expected in central Israel, with the possibility of snow on the higher peaks of the northern mountains. There is still a slight concern about local flooding along the coastal plain. The temperatures will remain colder than usual for this season.
