Rain and Kinneret Watch

by Dei'ah Vedibur Staff

Our weekly report of the rain and the level of the Kineret - 5780.

The Israel Metereological Service has changed their reporting but this week we found their new way of reporting the old figures.

As of February 6 (11 Shvat) 362.4 millimeters of rain had fallen in the Jerusalem area during the current season (August 1 to date). This represents 112% of the average rainfall for this period and 68% of the average rainfall for the entire season in the Jerusalem area which is 537 mm.

In most of the country the rainfall is well ahead of average rainfall for the period. The main rain months are December, January and February, so we are about half way through the season. In some places they have already surpassed the annual rainfall for the entire season.

The current level of the Kinneret, updated as of February 6, is -210.165 meters below sea level, which now less than 2 meters below the full red line of -208.8 meters. Hashem has been good to us in this area this year so far. It rose 16 cm. over the past week. It might fill up this year, be"H. Relatively little water is taken out as the bulk of Israel's drinking water comes from desalination. Keep davening.
