The Estimates Department at the Meteorological Service in the General Directorate of Civil Aviation expected that relatively stable and warm weather would prevail over Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean basin, with temperatures higher than their seasonal averages until Monday evening, as the region is affected by a highly effective and rapid air depression originating in southwestern Turkey and accompanied by relatively cold air masses, leading to a noticeable drop in temperatures (between 8 and 10 degrees), heavy rain, active winds and snow touching 1,500 meters and its effect will continue. Until Wednesday morning, when the weather gradually recedes and stabilizes.
