The Department of Meteorology at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation expected the weather tomorrow to be cloudy and sunny with a slight rise in temperatures in the mountains and inland, while remaining unchanged on the coast with a high level of humidity. We also warn of the risk of fires in the forested mountainous areas. The bulletin stated the following:
The general situation: Relatively hot air masses originating from the Arabian Gulf dominate in particular the mountainous regions and the Lebanese interior, with temperatures above their seasonal rates with a humid atmosphere on the coast and will continue until next week. Note that the average temperature for the month of May on the coast ranges between 18 and 27 degrees. Note: The Meteorological Department denies what is being circulated on social media sites about Lebanon being exposed to a highly polluted dust storm, as happened in Iraq. Citizens are requested to investigate the weather information from its official sources through the official website meteo.gov.lb for the Meteorological Service in the General Directorate of Civil Aviation.
The expected weather in Lebanon: Today, Saturday: clear to a few clouds, without a slight change in temperatures that are above their seasonal rates, with high humidity on the coast, which leads to the formation of dense fog on the low hills and poor visibility at times. We warn of the danger of fires in the forested mountainous areas. Sunday: Sunny with a slight rise in temperatures in the mountains and inland, while remaining unchanged on the coast with high humidity. We also warn of the danger of fires in the forested mountainous areas. Monday: Sunny, with temperatures continuing to rise, especially in the mountainous and inland areas, and the danger of fires remaining in the forested mountainous areas, and the weather remaining humid on the coast. Tuesday: A few clouds with the formation of fog on the low hills and the stability of temperatures, which remain relatively high.
Expected temperatures: on the coast from 17 to 29 degrees, over the mountains from 15 to 30 degrees, inland from 16 to 32 degrees.
Surface winds: southwesterly during the day, fluctuating and weak at night, with a speed of between 8 and 25 km/hr.
