The Meteorological Department at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation forecast that the low-pressure system affecting Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean will continue to influence the region, bringing some scattered rainfall and temperatures below seasonal averages until this afternoon, Sunday. The weather will then gradually stabilize.
Temperatures are expected to rise starting Monday, particularly in mountainous and inland areas, exceeding seasonal averages on Wednesday.
Expected weather in Lebanon:
Sunday: Partly cloudy, with a drop in temperatures, which will fall below seasonal averages. Fog will form over the mountains, with scattered rainfall at times, particularly in the southern and northern regions, along with a possibility of lightning and thunder. Winds will occasionally become stronger, causing rougher sea conditions. Rainfall will gradually subside from the afternoon onward, with the weather becoming more stable.
Monday: Mostly clear to partly cloudy, with temperatures rising in the mountains and inland areas. Fog may occasionally form over the mid-altitude mountains.
Tuesday: Mostly clear to partly cloudy, with a further rise in temperatures, particularly in the mountains and inland areas. Fog will form over the mountains, with scattered drizzle expected over the northern mountains from the afternoon onward.
Wednesday: Mostly clear, with temperatures continuing to rise in mountainous and inland areas, where they will exceed seasonal averages.
Surface winds: Southwesterly, occasionally strong, ranging between 15 and 40 km/h.
Visibility: Moderate along the coast, occasionally deteriorating over the mid-altitude mountains due to fog.
Relative humidity along the coast: 60–80%.
Sea conditions: Rough.
Sea surface temperature: 29°C.
Atmospheric pressure: 1007 hPa, equivalent to 755 mmHg.
