Tripoli's Climate

Tripoli, the capital of Libya, sits on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa and has a hot Mediterranean climate (transitional Csa/BSh) with a long dry summer and a mild winter. Summers (June–September) are hot, dry and sunny, with daytime highs usually 30–34°C, tempered somewhat by the sea, though the hot, dry ghibli wind off the Sahara occasionally sends temperatures soaring and fills the air with dust. Winters (December–February) are mild and wetter, around 10–17°C, and account for most of the year's modest rainfall. Spring and autumn are pleasant.
