Unstable Weather Pattern Keeps Rain in the Forecast
A relatively stable spring weather pattern is prevailing over Lebanon, with temperatures rising inland and in mountainous areas. Some local fluctuations are also expected, particularly in northern regions, and are likely to persist throughout the week due to the influx of relatively cold air masses over the eastern Mediterranean basin.
Note: The average May temperatures are 18–27°C in Beirut, 15–25°C in Tripoli, and 13–27°C in Zahle.
