Weather patterns and heavy rainfall in Lebanon

Overview

Following a period of unstable weather and shifting patterns in early October, a significant weather shift began on a Thursday morning. A low-pressure system centered west of Turkey brought relatively cold air masses, rain, thunderstorms, and active winds to the region.

As the system progressed, temperatures fell below seasonal averages. The weather transitioned from partly cloudy to cloudy, with fog on the mountains and increased sea waves. Scattered rainfall, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and the possibility of hail, was anticipated. By Friday, the impact intensified with heavier rainfall in the afternoon, strong winds, and potential hail, with unsettled conditions projected to continue through the end of the week.

By mid-October, unstable conditions persisted due to a low-pressure system and cold air masses centered south of Turkey. This system was expected to influence the region through Sunday evening, bringing intermittent local thunderstorms and rain, particularly in the afternoons. Fog was expected on higher elevations, and winds were projected to remain active, with speeds between 15 and 45 km/h. Temperatures were expected to remain below seasonal averages initially, with a gradual improvement in weather conditions toward the middle of the week. Coastal temperatures were projected to range between 19°C and 25°C, while inland and mountainous areas remained cooler.
