Ongoing May Rainfall, Authorities Warn About Certain Beaches
The forecast issued by the Department of Forecasting at the Meteorological Service of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation indicates that tomorrow’s weather will be generally partly cloudy, with a rise in temperatures, especially over the mountains and inland areas, along with continued fog formation over high elevations.
A mild spring weather pattern is prevailing over Lebanon, with some local fluctuations due to relatively cold air masses affecting the eastern Mediterranean basin. These conditions will gradually recede starting Sunday.
Average May temperatures in Beirut range between 18°C and 27°C, in Tripoli between 15°C and 25°C, and in Zahle between 13°C and 27°C.
Rising sea waves and the formation of strong currents are expected on Friday, especially along the northern coasts.
