The Estimates Department at the Meteorological Department in the General Directorate of Civil Aviation expected that an area of low and deep air pressure will dominate Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean basin, accompanied by cold air masses that will lead to rainy weather with a drop in temperatures and continue until the end of the week.
A warning of slides on the roads due to rain and the formation of floods on some roads starting this evening.
