Weather It Is (More Summer Weather)

Good morning:

It makes sense that the continuation of summer would bring more summer weather, especially in Israel where the only constants seem to be more hot weather and an occasional (or not so occasional) missile launched from Gaza.

Of course, the weather could turn extremely hot, which would make for more summer weather than we desire.  However, looking ahead shows a fairly constant weather pattern with the hottest temperatures situated well to our east.  We'll continue to have light to moderate westerly winds, which will bring warm and humid temperatures along the coast and very-warm and dry temperatures further inland. Hot weather will be the rule in the Jordan Valley and south to Eilat.

Having returned from a trip abroad, I can tell you that the good news is that missile attacks take longer to occur than a lightning "attack."  We hardly ever have any lightning here in Israel during the summer -- so I guess there are those who like to make their own interesting weather for us to take care from.  Or, is it just our government that treats these attacks like an attack of nature?
