Please note that times in the forecasts are in
universal time.
To translate into local Israel time see the Date and Time Gateway .
Previous sources for Meteosat images are Nottingham University, and Ulm University More weather satellite photos of our region can be found on the NEMOC products page, at the unclassified geosynchronous section. The NEMOC Mediterranean Visible, and the Mediterranean Infra-Red. For a global view from NASA see the Interactive Weather Satellite Viewer. |

The MM5
latest weather forecast page gives
forecasts for Israel, up to 48 hours ahead from the time the forecast was made (click "Reload" to make sure
you are seeing the latest forecast). For an explanation of the model and how to read the results
see the TAU MM5 Overview Page. The example here is a 24 hour Sea Level Pressure forecast. Also available from the latest weather forecast page are maps of 850 mbar wind and temperature, precipiation, boundary level height, and more. Please note that times in the forecasts are in universal time. Therefore, to convert the times into Israel winter-time add two hours to the hour given in the forecasts, and for Israel summer-time add three hours. To translate into the local time in other locales see the Date and Time Gateway . |

The MM5
latest weather forecast page also
includes time series showing temperature, humidity, and precipitation every hour for
Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, Hadera, Beer-Sheva and Eilon (click "Reload" to make sure
you are seeing the latest forecast).
For an explanation of the model and how to read the results
see the TAU MM5 Overview Page. The example here is the forecast for Tel-Aviv. Please note that times on the time-series figures are hours after the forecast hour. Therefore if the forecast was made on 12 GMT (12 Z), time 12 is actually 24 GMT. For translation from GMT or universal time to Israel winter-time add two hours to the hour given in the forecasts, and for Israel summer-time add three hours. To translate into the local time in other locales see the Date and Time Gateway . |
| The Heat Index Calculator tells you what the heat actually feels like. | |
| The Chill Factor Calculator can be useful for some areas of Isreal. | |

The MM5
latest weather forecast page also
includes maps showing 850mb temperature + 850mb wind, Sea level pressure + 500mb height, Planetary boundary layer (height+regime),
Montgomery Potential and IPV. The example shown here is precipitation forecast for 24 hours. Please note that times in the forecast are in universal time. For translation from GMT or universal time to Israel winter-time add two hours to the hour given in the forecasts, and for Israel summer-time add three hours. To translate into local time for other locales see the Date and Time Gateway . |

Another model forecast for our region is produced by
The University of Athens Atmospheric Modeling and Weather Forecasting Group. Here is their latest forecast (Javascript required). Some other models are the MRF model, by the US National Weather Service, the ECMWF model, and the IGES model. |

Another model forecast for our region is shown on the site of the
Institute of Global Environment and Society - IGES. Here is the latest forecast for Europe. The forecast is the result of the model produced by National Centers for Environmental Prediction - NCEP. See also the NCEP site for full model data. |

Israel Meteorological Service. For a list of more such stations see the ISA-MEIDA Israeli Meteorological Stations page. The Ministry of Environment Air Quality Monitoring System also measures meteorological data. For more information see the Air Quality System page on ISA-MEIDA. ISA-MEIDA also has Israel Meteorological Service data. |

The latest
Dust Loading forecast page
includes animations of dust loading, dust profile and more up to 48 hour forecast ahead.
For an explanation of the model and how to read the results
see DREAM Dust Model Overview Page. For translation from GMT or universal time to Israel winter-time add two hours to the hour given in the forecasts, and for Israel summer-time add three hours. To translate into local time for other locales see the Date and Time Gateway . |

Many other aerosol links are available from
the NRL/Monterey Aerosol Page,
with specific images of the
SeaWifs Mediterranean view,
and the
Westphal NAAPS model. Another satellite source is the TOMS instrument, as in the list of TOMS aerosol index images over the Mediterranean, and another model is the ICOD DREAM model . There is also the AERONET program with near-real-time data. |

The
TEMIS UV index
is the effective UV-B irradiance (1 unit equals 25 mW/m2) reaching the Earth's surface.
This UV index is valid for clear-sky conditions and will usually be lower for cloudy skies
or polluted areas. The UV index and the UV Erythemal dose are computed by TEMIS based on the GOME Ozone profile observations. For more information visit the TEMIS product info site. |
