The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has expected western regions of the country to be affected Tuesday by volatile weather as a result of the crossing of a desert depression accompanied by a relative rise in temperature, with the proliferation of thunderclouds this evening, and chances of scattered rain in the northwestern regions, especially (the Nafusa Mountain regions - the interior of the mountain - and extending to include some coastal regions). It is good at times, causing some local valleys to flow, and thunderclouds include Ghat area and its surroundings, while the southern winds are active today in the areas of Ghadames and Hamada, triggering dust and sand.
The NCM expected that the depression will move tomorrow towards the eastern regions, where temperature will be recorded as relatively high, with relatively active southern wind, and a proliferation of clouds, interspersed with light rain. The temperature will record a markable drop tomorrow, Wednesday, in the northwestern region.
