The Lebanese Meteorological Service declared that a low-pressure system, presently centered over northwestern Egypt, is progressively impacting Lebanon. This weather pattern will bring unstable conditions and occasional showers over the next few days. Precipitation will be light, sporadic, and predominantly concentrated in inland and southern areas due to the depression’s trajectory and position over Egypt.
Anticipated Lebanese weather forecast:
Saturday: Conditions will range from partly to fully overcast, with cool temperatures and high-altitude fog. Gusty winds are anticipated. Occasional, intermittent rain is likely, mainly in southern and inland regions, with snowfall above 1700 meters overnight.
Sunday: Expect partly to fully clouded skies, with a further temperature decrease and high-altitude fog. The weather will show significant improvement during daylight hours. Scattered showers, potentially intensifying in the evening, are expected, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Snowfall is predicted above 1600 meters.
Monday: Skies will be mostly cloudy, with falling temperatures and high-altitude fog. Scattered showers, occasionally heavy, are forecast for the morning, with snowfall above 1600 meters. Precipitation will diminish after midday, giving way to widespread breaks in the cloud cover.
Tuesday: Conditions will vary from partly to fully cloudy, with increasing temperatures, particularly in mountainous regions during the day, and high-altitude fog. Scattered showers are anticipated, beginning in the afternoon and intensifying overnight, with lightning, thunder, and strong winds. Snow is expected above 1500 meters.
Lebanon Braces for Unstable Weather: A Spreading Low-Pressure System Brings Rain and Mountain Snow
Lebanon is preparing for several days of unsettled weather, courtesy of a low-pressure system currently swirling over northwestern Egypt. The Lebanese Meteorological Service has issued a forecast outlining a pattern of intermittent rain, gusty winds, and snowfall in mountainous areas.
The impact will be felt beginning Saturday, with partly to fully overcast skies and cool temperatures dominating. Rain is expected to be light and sporadic, primarily affecting southern and inland regions. Snow is anticipated above 1700 meters. Gusty winds will add to the unsettled conditions.
Sunday will see a continuation of the cloudy skies and cooler temperatures, although a slight improvement is predicted during daylight hours. Showers are expected, with the possibility of intensification in the evening, accompanied by lightning and thunder. The snow line will drop to 1600 meters.
Monday’s forecast suggests mostly cloudy skies with falling temperatures. Scattered showers, possibly heavy in the morning, will accompany snowfall above 1600 meters. However, conditions are expected to improve in the afternoon as precipitation lessens.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, the forecast predicts variable cloud cover and rising temperatures, particularly in mountainous areas. Showers are anticipated, beginning in the afternoon and intensifying overnight along with lightning, thunder, and strong winds. The snow line will dip further, to 1500 meters.
This forecast highlights the dynamic nature of the approaching weather system, with conditions fluctuating day-to-day. Lebanese residents, particularly those in mountainous regions, should remain vigilant and monitor updates from the Meteorological Service for potential weather-related disruptions.
