Libya's National Safety Agency has issued a warning of continued rain and thunderstorms in various parts of the country, particularly in central, southern, and northeastern regions. The agency stated that rainfall will vary in intensity, ranging from moderate to heavy, and may intensify locally in some areas. This warning was issued through a post on the agency's official Facebook page.
The agency noted that some northwestern regions will also experience scattered rainfall due to the ongoing unstable weather conditions affecting the country. Citizens have been urged to exercise caution, especially during periods of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. The agency's warning comes as the country prepares for further weather disturbances.
According to the agency, the expected rainfall amounts may lead to the formation of flash floods and the flow of water in valleys, in addition to the accumulation of water in low-lying areas. This situation necessitates avoiding valleys and not attempting to cross them when water levels are high, to avoid potential risks.
The agency also alerted the public to the strong winds accompanying the thunderstorms, which may cause temporary disturbances in weather conditions. Citizens are advised to follow updates and bulletins issued by relevant authorities and adhere to preventive guidelines during periods of instability.
Temperature forecasts indicate that maximum temperatures will range between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius in northern regions, while in southern regions, they will range between 26 and 38 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between regions will continue to vary according to the prevailing weather conditions.
The general outlook suggests that unstable weather will persist in most parts of Libya until mid-next week, with continued chances of rain and thunderstorms in various areas, especially in central, southern, and northeastern regions. These warnings come as forecasts indicate continued activity of thunderclouds during the day and tomorrow, potentially increasing the likelihood of local flash floods.
The agency emphasized the importance of taking necessary precautions, especially in areas near valleys and low-lying areas, and avoiding unnecessary travel during peak storm periods. Vehicle owners are advised to exercise caution on roads that may be affected by water accumulation and to continuously monitor the development of weather conditions.
