“The intensity of the atmospheric depression that will hit Lebanon has declined in terms of cold, snow and duration. Therefore, this depression will not switch into a snowstorm, but will be accompanied by heavy winds to reach 60 km/hour, and heavy rain with lightning, thunder and cold, in addition to torrents and snow that may reach 1100- or 1000 meters”, affirmed the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI) in a statement.

“As for the Bekaa region, accumulations will be on the 900 meters, and won’t be as heavy as claimed. This depression is similar to the depression Lebanon previously witnessed . On Saturday and Sunday, the weather will be stable with frost by night”, the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI) added.
