The Kinneret's water level rose another 10.5 centimeters between Thursday and Sunday morning to 210.60 meters below sea level. The lake is now 2.40 centimeters above the lower red line, and 1.8 meters below the upper red line, which denotes that the lake is full.
The Kinneret's water level normally continues to rise through mid-May, which means that there are still 100 days for the to continue filling up, and a good chance that it will do so by the end of this winter's rainy season.
The Kinneret rose by 1.23 meters in January, the largest ever monthly rise in the water level, due to the severe storm early in the month.
