Storm Byron, which has battered Greece and Cyprus, is heading for Israel in the coming days, the Israel Meteorological Service says.

According to Hebrew-language media reports, citing the IMS, the weather system will sweep in as early as Wednesday and will peak on Thursday, with stormy weather expected until the end of the week.

Residents are warned to prepare for difficult weather conditions and potential flooding. High levels of precipitation are expected in coastal and central areas, with rainfall and strong winds throughout the country.

Israel, Greece and Cyprus began jointly naming storms in 2021 as part of increased regional cooperation.
