A low-pressure system affecting the Levant and northern Egypt at the end of the week will bring heavy rain, strong winds, and snow to the highlands of Syria and Lebanon.

Arab Weather App - The latest readings of computer maps in Arab Weather indicate that the entire Levant region and northern Egypt will be affected by a cold and rainy low-pressure system starting on Friday morning, with its impact first on Syria and Lebanon, before extending during the afternoon and evening hours of Friday to include Palestine and Jordan, accompanied by a cold air mass that will lead to a noticeable drop in temperatures, resulting in cold to very cold weather, especially over the mountainous highlands.

This low-pressure system is accompanied by heavy rainfall in various parts of the Levant, sometimes thundery and accompanied by hail showers, along with strong winds whose gusts may exceed 100 km/h, which will stir up dust storms in the desert and desert regions east of the Levant, in addition to a significant rise in waves on the coasts of the Levant, especially the Syrian and Lebanese coasts. Snow will also fall over the high mountain peaks in Syria and Lebanon, where the snow will be heavy and accumulated.

In Egypt, the effects of the low-pressure system will include the north of the country, where a clear drop in temperatures and a significant increase in wind speed are expected, especially in coastal areas, accompanied by a noticeable rise in waves, in addition to the appearance of clouds at different altitudes and showers of varying intensity, which may be heavy at times, especially in the northern coastal areas.

Recommendations:

Be aware of the risks of flash floods and the flow of valleys and ravines in many areas.
Be careful while driving due to reduced horizontal visibility caused by dust or heavy rain.
Avoid approaching the coast during periods of strong winds and high waves.

And God knows best.
