The Department of Estimates at the Meteorological Service reported that cold and changeable weather, with occasional rain, is affecting Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean basin due to a weather low over the eastern Mediterranean, which will gradually recede on Tuesday morning, leading to a stabilization of the weather with a return in temperatures. It is noted that the high atmospheric pressure dominating North Africa will result in stable weather in our region until the end of the week. The meteorological service denied "circulated news about a strong snowstorm after February 8," affirming that there will be "rapid and limited fluctuations as indicated by numerical models so far." The average temperatures for February in Beirut range between 11 and 19 degrees, in Tripoli between 9 and 18 degrees, and in Zahle between 3 and 13 degrees.
**The expected weather in Lebanon:**
