Arab Weather - The Levant region will be affected on Friday, January 9, 2026, by a low-pressure system accompanied by a highly effective cold front, leading to the formation of rain clouds accompanied by heavy rain, lightning and thunder in a wide geographical area, where heavy rain will fall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and heavy hail.

The precipitation will be in the form of heavy, accumulating snow on the mountains of Syria, Lebanon, and northern Iraq, with a significant drop in temperatures, which may lead to noticeable snow accumulations and the closure of some mountain roads.

This weather condition is accompanied by a noticeable increase in wind speed, which leads to a decrease in horizontal visibility during heavy rainfall, in addition to the possibility of hail in some areas, which increases the risk of valleys overflowing and flash floods, especially in low-lying areas and valley courses.
