Weather patterns in Lebanon

Overview

Lebanon has transitioned from a summer of high temperatures and humidity into an unstable autumn period. Following previous warnings regarding sun exposure and forest fire risks, a low-pressure system centered southwest of Turkey brought fluctuating temperatures, varying cloud cover, and scattered rainfall.

As of early October, the weather remained volatile. Following a period of scattered light rainfall and local fog on the highlands, the weather transitioned toward a more stable autumn pattern characterized by decreasing humidity and rising temperatures. A significant temperature increase was forecasted for mid-October, particularly in the interior and mountainous regions, with coastal cities like Beirut and Tyre seeing highs between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius.

While conditions were expected to remain dry and stable through the weekend, a shift was anticipated. Forecasts indicated a transition from stable, warm weather to more volatile conditions starting Sunday afternoon. A low-pressure system was expected to bring rain and wind, with scattered rainfall beginning Sunday, particularly in southern and inland areas, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and active winds.

By Monday, heavier scattered rain was expected, especially in northern parts of the country, with potential thunderstorms and thick fog on the mountains. Weather patterns were expected to remain unstable throughout the early part of the week. A significant low-pressure system centered over the Greek islands was expected by Wednesday, which could bring heavy rain and strong winds to the Eastern Mediterranean basin.

By late October, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation predicted stable autumn weather for Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean basin. Temperatures were expected to remain above seasonal averages through Tuesday evening. However, a shift was forecast starting Tuesday, with temperatures expected to decrease gradually as winds pick up and humidity rises, potentially leading to thick fog on medium altitudes and scattered light rainfall, particularly in northern regions.
