The unseasonably pleasant May will continue until the end of the month after a quickie sharav of dry heat Tuesday. Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 20s Celsius (mid-80s Fahrenheit) in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and 33 (91 Fahrenheit) in Be'er Sheva.

The thermometer will drop sharply Wednesday and Thursday, and the weather will remain pleasantly warm in the day and cool in the hills at night. A warming trend will resume on Sunday.
