Weather forecast: Temperatures below average, thundershowers and snow expected

Damascus, SANA- The temperatures will continue to drop to become from 4 to 7 degrees below average as the country is being affected by a low air pressure accompanied by a cold and wet air mass in all the layers of the atmosphere.

In its Thursday forecast, the Meteorology Department expected that thundershowers will fall over most areas and sometimes they will become heavy, and snow will fall over the high mountains in the evening.

The wind will be from westerly to southwesterly moderate and its speed will reach 60 Kph while the height of the sea waves will be between medium and high.

Tomorrow, the temperatures will remain from 3 to 7 degrees below average and rain showers are expected over different areas while the wind will be southwesterly.

On Saturday, the temperatures will gradually rise, yet they will remain slightly below average and the skies will be clear in general.

Weather Forecaster Zakariya al-Issa told SANA that the instability in the weather in the country came as a result of being affected by a cold and wet polar air mass that would cause a drop in the temperatures and the fall of thundershowers in different areas and snow on the mountains.

He added that the weather will become stable on Friday afternoon and the temperatures will rise.
