Cool Weekend Ahead for Lebanon
The Meteorological Department at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has forecast that Sunday's weather will be partly cloudy, with a further slight drop in temperatures, bringing them below seasonal averages. Dense fog is expected to form over mountainous areas, while light scattered showers are likely before noon, particularly in northern Lebanon, accompanied by active winds. Skies will become mostly clear by the evening.
The weather bulletin added:
General situation: Relatively mild summer weather will prevail across Lebanon over the next two days, with temperatures remaining around seasonal averages due to the influence of a weak low-pressure system centered southwest of Turkey.

Temperatures are expected to rise again at the beginning of next week, particularly in mountainous and inland areas.
