The Libyan National Center for Meteorology has forecast unstable autumn weather conditions across Libya over the next two days, with fluctuating temperatures and increased cloud cover in several areas. There is a chance of scattered rain showers, possibly accompanied by thunderstorms, particularly in parts of the north and southwest. Residents are advised to be cautious, especially in regions prone to flash flooding.
In the north, areas from Ras Ajdir to Sirte, the Sahl Al-Jafara region, and Jebel Nefusa, will experience increased cloud cover, with a likelihood of scattered rain showers, especially along the Tunisian border and areas extending from Nalut to Gharyan. Additionally, regions such as Tarhuna, Al-Araban, Mizda, and Banī Walīd, as well as some coastal areas, may see rain. Winds will be moderate to strong, blowing from the northwest, particularly along the coast.
The center also warned of potential rain showers in the Gulf region, the Benghazi plain, and areas up to Al-Marassid. These regions may experience scattered rain, possibly accompanied by thunderstorms, particularly on October 12, 2026. Winds will be moderate to strong, blowing from the southwest, shifting to northwest in the evening, with temperatures ranging from 27 to 30 degrees Celsius.
In the south, areas such as Al-Jufra, Sabha, Ghat, Ghadames, and Al-Hamada, are expected to see increased cloud cover, starting from the evening of October 11, 2026. There is a risk of scattered rain showers, potentially leading to flash flooding and the overflow of wadis. The center has urged residents to exercise caution, especially near wadi courses.
Meanwhile, in the Al-Wahat, Al-Serir, Tazirbu, and Al-Kufra regions, some high-level clouds are expected, with light, variable winds shifting to northwest. Temperatures will range from 29 to 33 degrees Celsius. The center's forecast indicates that these regions will experience relatively stable conditions.
