Rain on the Last Day of May!
The forecasting department at the Meteorological Service of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation expects that tomorrow’s weather will be partly cloudy to mostly clear, with a limited rise in temperatures, especially in the mountains and inland areas, where temperatures will exceed seasonal averages, while remaining almost unchanged along the coast. Local fog will form over the highlands starting in the afternoon, with a chance of scattered light rain in inland regions.
The following bulletin states:
General situation: Relatively stable spring weather is prevailing over Lebanon, with temperatures within seasonal averages and some local fluctuations due to the influx of relatively cold and humid air masses from Turkey toward the eastern Mediterranean basin, which will gradually recede starting Monday. Temperatures are expected to rise starting Thursday, with stable and warm conditions.
Note: Average May temperatures are: Beirut between 18 and 27°C, Tripoli between 15 and 25°C, and Zahle between 13 and 27°C.
Warning of high sea waves and the formation of strong currents tomorrow, Sunday, especially on northern beaches.
