End of August Weather Forecast: What Lies Ahead for Lebanon?

The forecast department at the Meteorological Service of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation predicts typical summer weather to prevail over Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean basin, characterized by higher-than-seasonal temperatures in both the interior and mountainous areas until Saturday. A weak weather front is expected to bring moderate air masses, leading to a decrease in temperatures and some local fluctuations.

There is also a warning against sun exposure and forest fires in wooded areas.
