Israel still sizzling, ACs working on overdrive
Temperatures are soaring yet again, with Israeli cranking up the air conditioning to keep cool.
The Jordan Valley is again seeing temperatures of 46º (115º F) and areas of the inland plain are baking under temperatures between 40º (104º F) and 42º (107.6º F).
Figures posted by the electric company show that usage is higher than at any other point excluding Tuesday afternoon’s all-time day record. According to reports, usage over the last three days has been higher than ever.
Israel will keep sweating under the sun’s oppressive rays until mid-day Friday, when the week-long heat wave is expected to mercifully break.
