Palestinian forecasters see cold days, warmer temperatures this week
Winds will stay light to moderate and seas will remain calm, with temperatures expected to rise on Tuesday and again on Thursday.
Partly cloudy to clear, relatively cold weather is expected on Monday with no major change in temperatures, the Palestinian Meteorological Department said in a statement.
The department said the cold will be felt most strongly in mountainous areas.
Winds on Monday will blow from the northeast at light to moderate speeds, and the sea will have low waves.
During Monday evening and night, skies will generally be clear, with cold conditions in mountainous areas and relatively cold weather elsewhere.
The same northeasterly winds at light to moderate speeds and low sea waves will continue overnight, the department said.
On Tuesday, the weather will generally be clear and relatively cold, particularly in mountainous areas, and temperatures will rise.
Winds on Tuesday will shift between northeasterly and northwesterly, staying light to moderate.
Wednesday will bring partly cloudy to clear skies and relatively cold conditions, especially in mountainous areas, with a slight drop in temperatures.
Winds on Wednesday will blow from the northwest at light to moderate speeds, with low sea waves.
On Thursday, skies will be partly cloudy to clear, cold in mountainous areas and mild in other regions, and temperatures will rise again.
Thursday's winds will range from northeasterly to northwesterly, light to moderate, with low sea waves.
The department issues forecasts covering the day's weather and the outlook for several days ahead, and this bulletin follows that pattern.
Mountainous areas typically record lower temperatures than lowland areas in winter, which is why the department singles them out in its forecasts.
Later bulletins may revise these expectations, so readers should check for updates as conditions change.
