Earlier, the forest fire that sparkled near Jerusalem, Israel forced the evacuation in several areas and caused the closure of several main roads on Wednesday (30/4), because firefighters tried their best to keep fires in the middle of dry conditions and strong winds.
Quote Jerussalem PostIsraeli meteorological services warned that poor weather conditions would continue in the center of the fire. Firefighters are still closely related to meteorological services when they try to control some fires.
Israeli meteorological services warned on Wednesday (30/4) about the continuation of bad weather conditions that influenced most countries when the fire flew throughout the Jerusalem and Central Israeli regions.
The combination of strong winds, very high temperatures and low humidity in the country increased the risk and spread of forest fires.
In many regions, extreme temperatures reached from 36 ° to 38 ° Celsius, while several areas reached a peak at 39 °. The most extreme heat was registered in the region of the shfla, on the southern plain of the coast and in some parts of the Negev region from the north -wrapped.
Humidity in some areas decreased below 10%, blocking the zones that are experienced by strong winds, conditions that worsen the ongoing forest fires.
Firefighters remained closely related to the meteorological office when they tried to control the flame.
It is not enough rain to calm the fire.
Although in several places there is rain, for example, in Western Negev, this rain is not widespread to reduce the risk of fire as a whole.
Strong southern and southeast winds struck most countries. This wind, combined with drought, contributed to a decrease in visibility and haze in many regions.
“At present, we are in the middle of strong winds in combination with high temperatures, and this is still happening before thermal waves on Wednesday (30/4).
“Thermal waves will subside later, with a strong western and south -wrapped wind emanating from the sea, and then the temperature will begin to fall,” continued Orhen Davidova.
Davidov added that wind gusts can reach 80 km/h in several regions. This wind is usually associated with the transition of heat waves.
According to David, the current state comes from a low -pressure system associated with thermal waves, which are common in the April transition season. He also noted that the temperature of the last week was even higher.
The expected transition – and with the potential for more vague weather – will occur between 18:00 and 22:00, which contributes to the cancellation of the lighting ceremony. It is expected that the wind will subside at night.
