The Estimates Department at the Meteorological Department in the General Directorate of Civil Aviation expected that the weather tomorrow will be generally cloudy, with a gradual and noticeable drop in temperatures. Scattered and heavy rain falls with lightning, thunder, and active winds approaching 75 km/h, and sea waves rise to 3 metres. Snow also falls at an altitude of 1,400 meters during the day, and gradually decreases at dawn on Friday to reach 900 meters on the northern highlands and inland areas, with dense fog continuing to form on the highlands.
-General condition:
Lebanon and the eastern basin of the Mediterranean are affected, starting this evening, by a depression originating from the Black Sea accompanied by cold air masses, which leads to rainy weather with a noticeable drop in temperature, and snow on the middle mountains. Its effect continues until Friday afternoon, when it gradually stabilizes with the dominance of dry and cold northern winds, until a wave of frost sets in and continues until the end of the week.
