Unstable Weather Expected in Lebanon: Rain, Thunder, and Snow
2/6/2026 10:55:00 AM
The Meteorology Department of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation predicts that tomorrow will be mostly cloudy with fog over the highlands and a drop in temperatures, especially in mountainous and inland areas, returning to seasonal averages. Scattered rain showers are expected, occasionally heavy, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and gusty winds reaching up to 80 km/h, particularly in northern Lebanon, causing higher waves at sea. Snowfall is expected above 2,000 meters, with rain tapering off by nighttime.
General Outlook: Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean will gradually be affected by a fast-moving, limited-intensity low-pressure system, bringing unstable weather with scattered rain and gusty winds. Its effect will weaken Saturday night, with some local variability remaining.
Daily Forecast:
Friday: Mostly cloudy with medium and high clouds, dense fog over highlands, and no significant change in temperatures. Clouds will thicken from midday, preparing the atmosphere for scattered showers with gusty winds.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy with fog over the highlands and lower temperatures, especially in mountainous and inland areas. Scattered rain, occasionally heavy, will be accompanied by lightning, thunder, and winds up to 80 km/h, particularly in the north, with higher waves at sea. Snow is expected above 2,000 meters, with rain easing overnight.
Sunday: Partly cloudy with a rise in temperatures. Gusty winds may reach 80–95 km/h in northern Lebanon. Clouds will thicken in the afternoon with fog over highlands, allowing for light, scattered showers.
Monday: Partly to occasionally cloudy with lower temperatures and occasional gusty winds. Some scattered rain is expected in the morning, particularly in northern areas.
Temperatures:
Coast: 14–20°C
Mountains: 6–14°C
Inland: 6–17°C
Winds: Southeast, turning southwest during the day, 15–50 km/h
Sea: Moderate waves, sea surface temperature 19°C
Sunrise: 6:30 am | Sunset: 05:15 pm
