Hottest day in Israeli history as Eilat and Jerusalem record unprecedented highs

Israel on Friday experienced its hottest recorded day ever — meaning in at least 100 years.

The southern coastal resort city of Eilat recorded an unprecedented 48.9°C (120°F) high, Channel 12 reported.

After Thursday saw Jerusalem record its highest ever temperature, Friday’s figures edged that one out, setting a new record of 42.8°C (109°F). The current heatwave has been unprecedented for Jerusalem, which usually enjoys slightly cooler weather than the rest of the country thanks to its location and relatively high altitude at some 800 meters (2,600 feet) above sea level.

Extreme humidity was reported in coastal cities throughout the country while dry-spells were recorded in the Jordan Valley and other desert areas.

Emergency medics scrambled to keep up with nearly 200 heat-related injuries nationwide.
