Libya is expected to experience autumnal weather over the next two days, with continued cloud formation in the northeastern regions and parts of the south, accompanied by varying intensities of rainfall and possible thunderstorms in some areas, according to the National Center for Meteorology. The weather conditions are expected to bring relief from the heat, with temperatures ranging from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius.
In the regions of Ras Ajdir to Sirte, and the plain of Jafara and Jebel Nefusa, clouds are expected to appear from time to time, with chances of light rainfall in some coastal areas, especially extending from Misrata to Sirte. The winds are expected to be variable in direction, turning to northwesterly and northeasterly, with light to moderate speeds.
The regions of the Gulf and the plain of Benghazi to Amsaad are expected to be affected by scattered rainfall from time to time, covering most areas, and better on the Green Mountain over the next two days. The rainfall may be accompanied by thunderstorms, leading to water accumulation in low-lying areas, with a possibility of flash floods in some local valleys.
In the regions of Jufra, Sabha, Ghat, Ghadames, and Hamada, clouds are expected to accumulate, especially in the far south, particularly in Ghat and neighboring areas, and border regions with Algeria, with chances of thunderstorms that may lead to flash floods and rising water levels in valleys and streams.
The regions of Wau, Sarir, Tazirbu, and Kufra are also expected to experience cloud accumulation, especially near Kufra and border regions with Egypt and Chad, with a possibility of scattered rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms at times. Temperatures are expected to range from 29 to 32 degrees Celsius.
According to the National Center for Meteorology, the winds are expected to be moderate in speed, with a possibility of strong winds during the passage of thunderstorms. The public is advised to exercise caution, especially in areas prone to flash floods and rising water levels in valleys and streams.
