range of daily temperatures The wind was considerably weaker in Dallas than in Tel Aviv Both were reasonably cloudy and had rainfall The most extreme event predicted is going to be on Friday 14 with a temperature difference of 24 F Dallas experiences a wide variety of extreme weather throughout the year Severe weather conditions include droughts blizzards thunderstorms hail and tornadoes I will select one from the summer and one from the winter During the summertime Dallas experiences abnormally high temperatures with heat waves with a whopping 109 F recorded in the summer of 2022 The hottest heat wave recorded in Dallas was the summer of 1980 with a record high temperature of 113 F Heatwaves can burden health and emergency services and increase strain on water energy and transportation resulting in power shortages or even blackouts Roberts 2022 During winter Dallas experiences the occasional arctic storm where it snows and sends Texas into almost single digits In 2022 the lowest recorded temperature in Dallas was 11 F The coldest temperature ever recorded in Dallas was in 1899 at 8 F Ice accumulations and gusty winds on utility lines continue to pose a risk for power disruptions Roberts 2021 I have experienced one of the more extreme weather that Dallas has ever had an EF3 tornado It happened on October 20 2019 and it started as a discrete supercell thunderstorm and developed across the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex contributing to multiple tornadoes It was the costliest tornado event in Dallas and Texas history at 1 55 billion in damage The house next to mine was flattened and their roof came into the top of my home which caused it to flood A once lush neighborhood with tree shade lining the streets became open Below is a photo I took of the

Rainfall Table 2 Tel Aviv Weather Analysis The total precipitation accumulation for the seven days is approximately 1 39 inches about seven times the rainfall Dallas will have next week Tel Aviv is going to experience far more rain as well as faster wind speeds It has slightly decreased daily high and low temperatures and less of a daily temperature difference Like Dallas it will be pretty cloudy in the coming week The most extreme weather event predicted for the coming week will be on Thursday the 13 with isolated thunderstorms and 0 85 inches of rainfall Tel Aviv weather is almost always moderate Tel Aviv basks in the sunshine over 300 days a year Springtime from November to April is considered the wet season Tel Aviv broke a more than 50 year record for the highest rainfall in northern Israel on Thursday in 2020 It rained approximately 17 inches in two weeks Rapidly increasing rainfall also causes land erosion and flooding particularly in urban areas Cities typically have a higher risk of flooding since most of the land is covered making it impossible for water to infiltrate the earth Jaffe Hoffman 2020 Tel Aviv like Dallas is known for intense heat waves during the summertime The hottest temperature ever recorded in Tel Aviv was 129 F in June 1942 Heat waves in Israel are already causing about 30 deaths annually Staff 2019 Bibliography Jaffe Hoffman M 2020
