According to the center, unstable autumn weather will continue to affect most areas over the next two days, with a high chance of heavy rain and thunderstorms in the northwest and south.

The center has specifically warned of heavy rain and flash flooding in areas such as the Western Mountain, its southern regions, Arabah, Qaryat, Beni Walid, Mizda, Tarhuna, and Sirte. Residents in these areas have been advised to exercise caution and be prepared for the possibility of flash flooding.
