Winter arrived. Blessed rains came across the country, power disruptions in Central Israel; trees collapsed

The winter is approaching: rains which began to fall during Thursday night and will continue until after Shabbos has been making an impact throughout the country. In the center of the country disruptions in power supply were felt this morning, and the power company has made repairs in Tel - Aviv, Jaffa, Givat Shmuel and Holon. The electricity company also notes that additional disruptions are expected over the weekend, due to stormy weather.

In Bat Yam a tree crashed on a car. The car was damaged and there were no casualties. Firefighters arrived at the scene and sawed the tree.

Starting from early morning blessed rains came down, especially in the coastal area. In Tel Aviv 6 mm fell, in the Sharon 16 mm, and 7 mm in Haifa.

The police would like to warn that the first rains are very dangerous and can cause accidents, because the friction coefficient between the tires and asphalt is small, causing the risk of slipping and losing control of the vehicle. "Drivers are asked to decrease speed, keep at a distance and avoid a sudden halt."

The rains will continue throughout the day in the north and center of the country, and will be accompanied by thunderstorms and winds. In the South of the country rain is expected locally. There is a danger of floods in streams.

Tomorrow it is expected to rain from time to time in the north and center, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds. Temperatures are expected to fall.

On Sunday, it will rain intermittently in northern and central Israel. Temperatures will be lower than normal in the season. On Monday, it will be partly cloudy with a slight increase in temperatures, but until the afternoon it may still rain.
