Interesting Psak: Rain

Chief Rabbi of Israel Rav Kalman Ber issued a psak to start saying the prayer for rain due to the shortage of adequate rainfall this year so far. Rav Ber points out the farmers who are desperate for water. Everyone should pray Hashem should have mercy on His netion and His land and rain down upon us rains of blessing.
Sephardim, bnei edut hamizrach, should say the "Kel Chai" prayer on Shabbos, and even add it to the prayers on Mondays and Thursdays, while Ashkenazim should say the daily prayer of Aneinu Borei Olam.
Rav Ber adds concluding that we should all continue saying the two chapters of Tehillim and Acheinu  for the welfare of the soldiers, for the healing of the injured and the return of the hostages...
I would note that the forecast has expectations for a drop in temperatures and a few days of rain starting Wednesday..
