This Weekend, Keep Away From the Sea
The Meteorological Department at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation expects Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean to be affected by a weak low-pressure system centered west of Turkey, bringing moderately cool air masses that will lead to unsettled weather, falling temperatures, and a chance of scattered rain, accompanied by stronger winds and rougher seas.
The department also warned of strong winds and rough seas today and Saturday.
