The 'Byron' storm brought an extreme rainfall event to the southern coast and western Negev, with the Carmel region experiencing record precipitation. Over two days, the storm caused widespread flooding, road closures, and numerous rescue operations as streams reached unusually high levels. Rainfall totals in some areas matched half of the annual average, marking the wettest 24-hour period in over a decade for certain locations. More rain is expected in the coming days, especially in Ashkelon, the Gaza envelope, and the western Negev, with wet weather likely to continue into the start of Hanukkah.
