To set the record straight: when I wrote about a drought and then sudden deluge of rain (being a curse) a commenter objected. well here we have another Jerusalem resident saying the same. and another person even said we were not done with the rain!
As kindly related by Reb Neuberger (and what I recalled in my post):
"It has been a strange winter in the Land of Israel.
- There was a frightening lack of rain the first few months of the rainy season.
- Then around Chanukah came two weeks of heavy rain.
- Following that, more drought, but in Mid-March about ten days of downpours.
- Following that, more drought, but – amazingly! – at the end of Pesach, after the “end” of the rainy season, there were several days of torrential rain.
- This year northern Israel received less than normal rainfall, but parts of the “arid” south received more than three times the average!
Forecast: Local rains, temperatures will drop 4/24
The weather today (Friday) will be partly cloudy with temperatures dropping considerably. They will be lower than normal for the season. There is a chance of mostly light local rains in the North and Center of the country. Winds will strengthen mainly in southern Israel.
On Saturday, there may be on-and-off rains accompanied by thunderstorms. Strong winds will blow and there may be fog in the South of the country. There will be another drop in temperatures and it will be colder than usual for the season, especially in the northern mountains and inland.
Sunday will be partly cloudy to cloudy with mostly light local rains in the North of the country. Temperatures will continue to be below normal for the season.
Monday will be clear to partly cloudy with an increase in temperatures mainly in the Golan Heights and inland, but they will continue to be lower than usual for the Season.
