Father Eli Khneisser, a specialist in meteorology and climatology, reported that the Icelandic low began to deviate towards the European continent with pressure values reaching 957 hpa, which will contribute to the decline of the air highs controlling western Russia, the Middle East and North Africa. The air pressure over Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Cyprus is expected to drop towards… 1002 hpa, then the depressions controlling the Mediterranean move towards southern Turkey and begin to affect Lebanon on Thursday night with scattered rain that quickly turns to heavy, accompanied by lightning and hailstones, and the wind speed intensifies to reach 85 km per hour in the south and north and 75 km per hour in the middle. Lebanon has a coast and mountains, and the depression turns into a torrential storm, accompanied by a drop in temperature and snow falling above 1,900 metres, reaching 1,600-1,700 during the peak.
So, stormy weather, torrential rain and thunderstorms, awaits Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Jordan from Thursday night until Sunday evening (Christmas Eve).
He added: “The heaviest rains will be primarily concentrated on the Syrian and Lebanese coastline, with a rainfall rate ranging between 140 and 175 mm (Tartous, Latakia, Baniyas, Chekka, Batroun, Jbeil, passing through Safra, Jounieh, Beirut, Damour to Sidon and Tyre).
As for the second level of heavy rain, which will range between 95 and 140 mm, it is the Western Mountains, Zgharta, Bsharri, Koura, Upper Jbeil, Kesrouan, Matn and Aley, Baabda Chouf, Jezzine, Nabatieh Bint Jbeil, Hasbaya, Khiam, Rmeish, the Western Bekaa and northern Palestine.
The third degree of precipitation, which will range between 50 and 95 mm, will fall on Tripoli, Akkar, central and northern Bekaa.
The fourth session, which will carry a rainfall rate between 20 and 45 mm, will affect Damascus, Yabroud, Saydnaya, Suwayda (Houran), and northern Jordan.
Weather on Tuesday and Wednesday: Sunny with a slight rise in temperatures due to the activity of the subtropical high and its southeasterly winds. It will turn to the southwesterly on Thursday as the air pressure decreases and the depression approaches, which will rise to the level of a storm due to its rapid winds and heavy rains, awaiting the arrival of a new depression towards Lebanon after AD.
