The weather is changing from spring warmth to winter cold in the Levant, with snow expected in the highlands of Syria and Lebanon on the first days of spring.

Arab Weather - First, God willing, computer weather maps show that the eastern Mediterranean basin, specifically the Levant, will be affected by a low-pressure system accompanied by a very cold and humid air mass during the end of this week, coinciding with the start of spring, which will cause winter weather to return to various regions, God willing.

The effects of the low-pressure system on the northern Levant, particularly Syria and Lebanon, will begin in the afternoon and evening hours of Wednesday, when a cold and rainy air front will pass through, and cold and rainy winter weather will prevail, with heavy rains at times accompanied by thunderstorms, especially on the Syrian and Lebanese coasts. Heavy snow will fall on the high mountain peaks in Syria and Lebanon, specifically Mount Hermon and the surrounding areas.

The Levant will be increasingly affected by a low-pressure system during Wednesday/Thursday night, followed by severe cold weather at the end of the week.

During the night of Wednesday/Thursday, cold and rainy winter weather will prevail at intervals, with heavy rains sometimes accompanied by hail, especially in the highlands. Heavy snow will fall on the high mountain peaks in Syria and Lebanon. The low pressure system will move away from the region on Thursday, and very cold winds will blow behind it, and there will be a noticeable drop in night temperatures. The weather will be very cold in most areas, and very cold over the high mountain peaks.

In the early hours of Thursday/Friday night, there will still be a chance of some local showers of rain, God willing, in some areas of the Levant, in the form of snowfall over the high mountainous areas of Syria and Lebanon.

Rainfall is expected to taper off on Friday, but the region will be hit by very cold winds and temperatures will be similar to winter.

Heavy snow accompanied by a low-pressure system over the high mountainous areas of Syria and Lebanon at the beginning of spring.

Heavy snowfall is expected over the high mountains of Lebanon and Syria during the upcoming low-pressure system, God willing. It will accumulate to the point of disrupting public life. This snowfall coincides with the last days of winter and the beginning of the spring equinox.

And God knows best.
