The Libyan National Meteorological Center has issued a warning for potential flash flooding in various local valleys in the northeastern region and Green Mountain on Wednesday. This warning comes as a result of forecasted rainfall of varying intensity, prompting citizens to exercise caution, especially in low-lying areas. The center's weather bulletin indicated that the weather will remain autumnal and rainy at times in different parts of northern Libya.

According to the meteorological center, the weather forecast predicts moderate to heavy rainfall in areas stretching from the Benghazi plain and Al-Marj, through Green Mountain and Derna, to Tobruk and the far eastern coast. The center pointed out that several areas in Green Mountain will be most affected by the rainfall, including Talmeetha, Al-Hania, Ras Al-Hamamah, Ras Amer, Susah, Ras Al-Hilal, Al-Bayda, and Shahat.

The expected rainfall is likely to cause water accumulation in low-lying areas, with the possibility of some local valleys flowing, necessitating taking necessary precautions and avoiding watercourse paths and areas prone to water accumulation. The center's warning aims to alert citizens to take preventive measures to ensure their safety.

The National Meteorological Center's warning is based on its weather forecast, which indicates that the weather will remain rainy in different parts of northern Libya. The center is responsible for monitoring and forecasting weather conditions in Libya, providing critical information to help mitigate the impact of severe weather events.

Residents in the affected areas are advised to be prepared for potential flash flooding and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. The center's warning is a timely reminder for citizens to be vigilant and take proactive measures to minimize the risks associated with severe weather events.

According to the National Meteorological Center, the weather is expected to gradually stabilize across most parts of the country starting from Thursday, before clouds start to gather again from Friday in the northwestern regions.
