Lebanon Braces for More Cold and Rainy Weather
The Meteorological Department at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation expects unsettled weather, with occasional rain and temperatures below seasonal averages, across Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean basin due to a low-pressure system accompanied by relatively cold air masses centered southwest of Turkey. The system is expected to affect the region until Sunday evening, after which conditions will gradually stabilize. Temperatures are forecast to rise gradually starting next Tuesday.
