Israel to see slight cooldown after year's hottest day

Israel will see slightly cooler temperatures Tuesday after experiencing its hottest day of the past year, though weather conditions will remain hotter than average across much of the country, according to the Israel Meteorological Service. Forecasters said conditions will be hot and dry in the mountains and inland areas, while coastal regions will remain hot and humid. Morning clouds are expected to clear, giving way to mostly sunny skies. Temperatures will ease slightly during the day before clear to partly cloudy conditions overnight. A gradual warming trend is expected to resume Wednesday, particularly in the mountains and inland regions, accompanied by increasing heat stress. Temperatures will rise again Thursday, with conditions becoming unusually hot to heatwave-like inland and in the hills, while humidity will continue along the Mediterranean coast.
