A split in the weather... heat followed by rain and cold

The Forecasting Department at the Meteorological Service of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation expected stable weather to prevail over Lebanon and the eastern Mediterranean basin, with temperatures below seasonal averages, until tomorrow, Wednesday. Temperatures will then rise, especially inland and over the mountains, exceeding seasonal norms by Friday. The rise in temperatures will continue through Sunday, when the region is expected to be affected by relatively cold air masses, leading to a noticeable drop in temperatures and unsettled, rainy weather starting Sunday evening.
