Shlomi is in Tel Aviv, that is in the west of the country. As we are
entering Autumn, with westward winds, Shlomi can _receive_ smoke
signals but his transmissions will be lost until Spring when the winds
turn eastward again.

You are not 100% correct. First, terminology wise, wind is named
after the direction it is coming from, not the direction it is
blowing to. As such, you need to reverse almost all east and west in
your explanation.<br>
<br>
Also, while the Autumn and Spring are, indeed, the seasons in Israel
where Eastern winds are expected, they are still not typical. The
sea is too big of a heat sink to overcome so completely.<br>
<br>
Last, it is mostly the fog that will prevent Shlomi from seeing
smoke signals, which are mostly going up anyways. As such, I suggest
we do all smoke signals communications indoors, where visibility is
better.<br>
<br>
So, we need a Cafe where we can set fire to the furniture. Since
furniture filling, typically, burns with highly toxic smoke, be sure
to bring your gas masks with you.<br>
