The most and least rainy areas in Libya
Arabiaweather.com - The desert constitutes the largest part of the terrain of Libya, with the presence of many oases and scattered mountains, especially in the south, while the coastal plain extends along the Mediterranean Sea in the north, with the presence of some mountains, the most important of which is the Green Mountain.
If we want to talk about precipitation and its annual rates, we must mention that the largest part of the country, “which is the desert,” does not exceed the annual total precipitation in many of its parts, only 10 mm per year.
While the precipitation increases gradually towards the north, "particularly to the areas north of latitude 30 degrees north of the equator," and the annual total rainfall along the coastal plain ranges between 200-400 mm annually.
Precipitation increases in parts of northern Libya, specifically the Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar region in the northeast of the country, where precipitation exceeds 500 mm as an annual average, to be the most precipitation area in Libya, followed by many parts of the coasts of the northwest of the country, where it exceeds 400 mm in some areas.
The annual rate of the Libyan capital, Tripoli, is about 333.3 mm annually, most of which falls between the months of October and January.
