This depression will remain in the island basin of Cyprus throughout Friday, before moving towards the west of the Syrian territories on Saturday, which means that the Kingdom - in particular - will not be physically affected by this depression before Saturday afternoon, unlike Syria, Lebanon and northern Palestine.
