Jerusalem on Tuesday experienced its warmest November night since the Israel Meteorological Service began keeping records in 1950, Hebrew media reported on Wednesday morning.
The minimum temperature recorded overnight was 23.2 degrees Celsius (73.8 degrees Fahrenheit), according to Israel’s Channel 12 News.
The previous overnight minimum record, 22.1 degrees Celsius (71.8 degrees Fahrenheit), was set in 2012.
On Monday, the 75-year-old daytime temperature record for Jerusalem was broken when the Israel Meteorological Service recorded a high of 31.8 degrees Celsius (89.2 degrees Fahrenheit) at the city’s station.
The Meteorological Service added that the trend is expected to continue through Thursday and Friday, with the potential for more records to be broken.
Meanwhile, rainfall remains absent across much of the Jewish state, with dryness persisting since the start of the rainy season on Oct. 1.
In August, two Israelis died during a record-breaking heat wave that saw highs of approximately 49 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit) from the country’s north to south.
