Hello everybody!

extremes yesterday here near Beirut 8.5-11.6 and snow at 900-1000 m, in some regions at 800 m in Bekaa (internal plain between the two mountains range)
heavy rain here on the coast

t min 8,5

we can have snow but over 1000 m I think

The next days we can see other rain and snow, and the next week a snowstorm (but we must control and see if we will have precipitations, the cold days yes, but we need the 2 conditions together....)

Hi,

In fact there are days that we suffer from the cold (for us) and heavy rain. Accumulated snow on the mountains are now perfect.
Today there was a kind of half-time break with snow at about 1200 m
extremes here today
8.3 - 14.7
t current 12.7
heavy rain at times, sometimes only cloudy

now it seems we will have snow at higher level. but the next week could have some surprises .... we will have cold, but it I'm afraid that there is no sufficient rainfall in most days' cold, or even nothing! If we will have precipitations, we will have snow at low altitudes, otherwise we will just frost. .....

If you are interested in seeing photos of snow in Lebanon in these days, and even monitor the progress of the weather situation, there are now pages on facebook, can be found on Google by putting "Lebanon weather forecast in facebook" and simply enter your name normally with facebook, no need to sign up ... we write there often in English, and a little in French ...

Bye!

it rained for a short time, even heavy.....after it was only mostly cloudy ...
The snow is a little melted

we will have rain and snow in the coming days before arriving of the period with more frost than snow on mountains .... we will see later if they change the forecast weather ..... maybe we'll have light snowfall on the hills too...
