As many Israelis prepare to fast on Yom Kippur this Wednesday, the country will likely face sizzling temperatures. Tuesday will generally feature partly cloudy to fair skies with a rise in mercury levels, while on Yom Kippur itself, a further increase in heat stress will leave much of the country with unseasonable warmth, according to Israel Meteorological Service forecasts.In Tel Aviv, temperatures are expected to rise to about 36°C on Wednesday, while those in Jerusalem will peak at about 33°C, the IMS data said. Temperatures in Eilat will likely hit up to 41°C, while those in Beersheba and Ein Gedi will rise to 38°C and 40°C respectively, IMS predicted.In the North, Haifa is expected to experience highs of 34°C, as Safed and Katzrin reach about 32°C and 37°C, the forecast said.
