A Cold Autumn Week Lies Ahead!
The Estimates Department at the Civil Aviation Directorate General’s Meteorological Service expects partly cloudy weather tomorrow, with no significant change in temperatures in inland areas and a drop in mountainous and coastal areas. Humidity levels will rise in the afternoon, leading to fog over the mountains. The weather will turn cloudy overnight, with scattered light rain, particularly in northern and inland areas, accompanied by stronger winds.
The weather bulletin reads as follows:
General conditions: Stable autumn weather is affecting Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean basin, with temperatures above seasonal averages. This is expected to continue until Tuesday evening, when limited weather fluctuations will begin due to the influence of a low-pressure system centered south of Italy and moving eastward. Its impact will intensify on Wednesday evening as cold air masses originating over the Black Sea move in, bringing a noticeable drop in temperatures and scattered rainfall, which may be heavy at times, accompanied by thunderstorms and active winds. Relatively cold and unsettled autumn weather is expected to persist through the end of the week.
