The weather forecast had predicted intermittent rain showers, not a downpour, on Sunday morning in the mountains.

Torrential rains and thunderstorms have hit several regions in Lebanon, especially in the mountain areas. This has contributed to a slight drop in soaring temperatures that had been prevailing since Saturday morning in Lebanon. However, temperatures continue to remain high.

They will remain above the seasonal average until the heatwave from the Arabian Peninsula recedes, starting from Tuesday.

The weather service also predicts intermittent thunderstorms on Monday.
