Lebanon will be affected starting this evening by a low-pressure system originating from the Black Sea, accompanied by cold air masses, bringing rainy and significantly colder weather. Snow is expected on middle-altitude mountains, with the system persisting until Friday afternoon before gradually stabilizing under the influence of dry, cold northern winds, which will trigger a frost wave lasting until the end of the week.
Expected weather:
Wednesday: Partly cloudy with a slight rise in temperatures and active winds. From afternoon onward, the sky will become cloudy, temperatures will start to drop, and scattered rain is expected to intensify by early Thursday, accompanied by thunder and stronger winds reaching about 90 km/h in northern areas. Sea waves may rise to around 3 meters, while snow is expected at elevations above 1500 meters. Dense fog will form over highlands, reducing visibility.
Thursday: Generally cloudy with a noticeable drop in temperatures. Scattered heavy rain is expected with thunder and active winds reaching about 75 km/h. Snow will fall at elevations above 1400 meters during the day, dropping gradually to about 900 meters by early Friday in northern highlands and inland areas, with persistent dense fog over mountains.
Friday: Cloudy with further temperature decreases. Scattered rain and thunder are expected mainly in northern areas. Light snow may fall above 900 meters in the north and inland. Weather will improve in the afternoon as cold northern winds prevail, causing ice formation on inland and mountain roads above 1000 meters, while fog will continue over highlands.
Saturday: Partly cloudy and relatively cold due to dominant northern winds, with ice formation persisting on roads above 1000 meters.
Temperatures:
Coast: 13–18°C
Mountains: 3–10°C
Interior: 6–12°C
Winds: Southwesterly, 10–40 km/h, strengthening at night to about 90 km/h, especially in northern areas.
Visibility: Good along the coast but poor over highlands due to fog.
Humidity: 50–75% along the coast.
Sea state: Rough to very rough, with sea surface temperature at 18°C.
Atmospheric pressure: 767 mmHg.
Sunrise: 6:12 am. Sunset: 5:31 pm.
