Precipitation is generally expected to take the form of showers and thundery showers. Sleet and snow are possible at higher elevations in northern and eastern areas. The assessment also highlights possible frost and icing at higher elevations inland as temperatures fall. Low temperatures bring a local agricultural frost risk in interior areas as well. These risks are described in regional terms; the announcement does not provide separate assessments for particular crops or districts. Official source

The ministry stresses the importance of following the General Directorate of Meteorology’s weather forecast reports and meteorological early warnings. Its announcement describes expected conditions and potential risks rather than reporting observed frost, snowfall or agricultural damage. The temperature figures are therefore forecasts for the specified period, not recorded outcomes. The ministry’s advice covers both forecast reports and early warnings. Official source
