The Forecast Department at the Meteorological Service of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation expected that Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean basin will be affected by a low-pressure system accompanied by relatively cold air masses centered west of Cyprus, along with a dust wave originating from northern Egypt. This will lead to unstable, dusty, and occasionally rainy weather. The dust gradually subsides starting Sunday, while unsettled and rainy conditions persist until Monday evening, when the weather stabilizes.
Expected weather in Lebanon:
Saturday: Generally cloudy and dusty with a noticeable drop in temperatures, which will return to seasonal averages. Fog will form over the highlands, and winds will strengthen up to 60 km/h, causing rough seas. Light scattered muddy rain showers are expected, becoming heavier in the evening with a chance of thunder and lightning, with wide breaks during the day.
Sunday: Generally cloudy with dense fog over the highlands and a further drop in temperatures, which will fall below seasonal averages. Scattered rain showers are expected at times, accompanied by thunder and lightning, especially in northern areas. Wide clearings are expected from midday, with strengthening winds.
Monday: Partly to mostly cloudy with fog over the highlands and continued low temperatures. Scattered rain showers are expected, occasionally heavy in the morning, especially in northern areas, with thunder, lightning, and sometimes strong winds. Rain gradually eases and weather improves by evening.
Tuesday: Mostly partly cloudy with local fog over the highlands and a rise in temperatures.
Surface winds: Southwesterly, active, 20–60 km/h
Visibility: Poor at times due to dust and fog
Relative humidity on the coast: 40%–85%
Sea conditions: Rough
Sea surface temperature: 19°C
Atmospheric pressure: 1007 hPa (755 mmHg)
Sunrise: 06:05
Sunset: 19:11
