After another drought winter, it appears HKBH has decided to bring the badly-needed rains to Eretz Yisrael, which we hope will be for a bracha. Israelis were caught by surprise in Nissan, after Pesach, and now once again in Iyar.

Jerusalemites were taken by surprise on Shabbos when rain began falling, leading to heavy showers for a period of time. Adding to the unseasonably cool temperatures and colder and windy conditions at night, Jerusalem was hit with a major downpour on Sunday morning and thundershowers are currently forecasted for Jerusalem and the area for later this week; Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

The accompanying video shows Nachal Komran flowing at maximum strength as a result of the rainfall.
