Health Ministry warns heatwave headed for Israel

The Health Ministry warns that a heatwave is on its way and that the public, and the elderly population and patients with chronic illnesses in particular, “should avoid being in the heat and sun exposure as much as possible, should avoid unnecessary physical exertion, and should drink water and be in air-conditioned places as much as possible.”

According to the Israel Meteorological Service, unseasonably high temperatures are expected to continue to rise over the weekend with Friday highs peaking at 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit).
