For years, the Lebanese have hummed the tune of artist Wael Kfoury's song "Is it Possible to Rain in August?", aware that the main rule leans towards "the fiery August." As the climate continues to shift towards extreme changes, neither the sweltering August nor the winter is a fundamental rule, with the possibility of fires and floods occurring in the same place—"why be surprised!"
In today's daily report, the Traffic Control Room warned drivers to exercise caution and reduce their speed due to rainfall in several Lebanese areas that is causing slippage and traffic accidents, ensuring public safety. The warning stated that drivers should be cautious and reduce speed due to rain in various Lebanese regions, which leads to slippage and traffic accidents to ensure public safety—Traffic Control (@tmclebanon) August 28, 2023.
Rainfall has been occurring in different regions of Lebanon due to a cold front advancing towards the Levant, resulting in thunderous rain in Lebanon and Syria and a significant drop in temperatures. It is expected that the weather will lean towards colder, especially during the night and early morning hours.
