A Dusty Warm-Up Before the Coming Cold and Rain
2/15/2026 11:05:00 AM
The Forecasting Division at the Meteorological Service of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation expects warm air masses to dominate Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean basin, leading to lower humidity and a noticeable rise in temperatures above seasonal averages, with active winds. The influence of these air masses will continue until Tuesday morning, when the region will be affected by a moderately active low-pressure system, causing temperatures to return to seasonal averages, humidity to rise, and the weather to become unstable with scattered rain and wind speeds exceeding 90 km/h on Wednesday, especially in northern areas.
Expected weather in Lebanon:
Sunday: Clear to partly cloudy skies with a gradual and noticeable increase in temperatures, reduced humidity, and active southern winds in the south of the country.
Monday: Clear to partly cloudy skies with continued temperature rise above seasonal averages, especially along the coast, further reduced humidity, and active southeast winds carrying light layers of dust.
Tuesday: Partly cloudy with medium and high clouds, active winds reaching 55 km/h carrying light dust, particularly in the south. Temperatures decrease to seasonal averages, humidity rises, and clouds gradually thicken, turning the weather cloudy with fog in the mountains, scattered light muddy rain, possible thunderstorms, and light snow above 2000 meters.
Wednesday: Cloudy with fog in the mountains, further temperature drop, and strong winds exceeding 90 km/h in the north, causing waves up to 3 meters. Scattered rain, sometimes heavy, especially in the north, possible thunderstorms with hail, and snow above 1800 meters. Rain eases at night, and the weather gradually improves.
Additional details:
Surface winds: Northwest to northeast, active, especially in the south, 15–45 km/h
Visibility: Good
Relative humidity on the coast: 50–80%
Sea state: Rough starting in the afternoon
Sea surface temperature: 19°C
Atmospheric pressure: 1022 HPA (767 mmHg)
Sunrise: 06:22
Sunset: 17:22
