The National Center for Meteorological Forecasting expects relatively cold conditions to persist across most regions of Libya over the next three days, starting from Friday, with noticeably active winds in the northern areas, particularly the northeast, and an increase in clouds interspersed with scattered rainfall in some areas.

The center clarified that areas from Ras Ajdir to Sirte, passing through the Jafara plain and the Nafusa Mountains, will experience clear to partly cloudy skies, with clouds increasing on Sunday over some coastal areas. Winds will be westerly to southwesterly, moderate to relatively active, especially along the coast, gradually shifting to northwesterly from tomorrow evening. Maximum temperatures will range between 13 and 19 degrees Celsius.

  • Weather Forecast: Active Winds in Northern Regions, Especially the Northeast

In the Gulf area, the Benghazi plain, and up to Amsa’ad, skies will be partly cloudy, increasing from time to time, with a chance of scattered rain today over the Green Mountain and on Sunday over areas extending from the Gulf to the Green Mountain. Winds will be northwesterly, moderate to active in speed, gradually shifting from this evening to southwesterly, while maximum temperatures range between 15 and 21 degrees Celsius.

  • Weather Forecast: Clouds Increase Over Northeastern Regions with Scattered Rain Over the Green Mountain.

In the regions of Jufra, Sabha, Ghat, Ghadames, and Al-Hamada, clear to partly cloudy conditions will prevail, with light northeasterly to easterly winds, shifting to variable direction tomorrow. Temperatures will range between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius.

  • Al-Wahat, Al-Sarir, Tazirbu, and Al-Kufra Regions

The regions of Al-Wahat, Al-Sarir, Tazirbu, and Al-Kufra will also record clear to partly cloudy skies, with light to moderate winds and maximum temperatures ranging between 19 and 21 degrees Celsius.

In its future outlook, the center indicated that conditions will remain without significant changes until the middle of next week, with continued chances of scattered rain in the northeastern regions.

Ras Ajdir

Ras Ajdir is a coastal border crossing and town located on the Mediterranean Sea, marking the boundary between Tunisia and Libya. Historically, it has been a significant transit point for trade and migration, with its modern border post established following the delineation of frontiers during the 20th century. Today, it remains a strategically important but often tense geopolitical gateway between North African nations.

Sirte

Sirte is a coastal city in Libya that gained prominence as the hometown and stronghold of former leader Muammar Gaddafi, who developed it extensively during his rule. Historically a modest trading post, it was the site of intense fighting during the 2011 Libyan Civil War and again in 2016, leaving much of the city heavily damaged.

Jafara plain

The Jafara plain is a vast lowland region in northwestern Libya, stretching from the outskirts of Tripoli to the Tunisian border. Historically, it has been a vital agricultural area and a significant corridor for trade and movement, with its history deeply tied to the Berber, Roman, and later Arab-Islamic civilizations that settled and traversed the region.

Nafusa Mountains

The Nafusa Mountains are a rugged range in northwestern Libya, historically inhabited by the indigenous Amazigh (Berber) people. For centuries, the region served as a remote stronghold, preserving unique Amazigh language and culture, including traditional fortified granaries called *qasrs*. It also played a significant strategic role during the 2011 Libyan Civil War as a key base for rebel forces.

Benghazi plain

The Benghazi plain is a coastal region in northeastern Libya, historically significant as part of the ancient Greek colony of Cyrenaica. It later became a major center during the Italian colonial period and, in modern times, the city of Benghazi served as a focal point during the 2011 Libyan revolution. The area’s history is deeply tied to Mediterranean trade and the political evolution of Libya.

Green Mountain

**Green Mountain** is a 2,300-foot-high peak on Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean, which was transformed from a barren volcanic landscape into a lush, cloud-forest ecosystem in the 19th century. This remarkable change was initiated under the direction of botanist Joseph Hooker, who proposed planting trees to improve rainfall and create a “garden” to supply passing ships and the island’s garrison. Today, it stands as a unique and historic example of human-led environmental modification and a vital conservation area.

Jufra

Jufra is a historic oasis region in central Libya, located along a network of ancient Saharan trade routes. Historically, it was a vital stop for caravans and later became a center for the Senussi order in the 19th century. Today, it is known for its main towns like Hun, Waddan, and Sokna, and its strategic location.

Sabha

Sabha is a major city in southwestern Libya, historically serving as a key desert trade hub and caravan stop. It is best known for the Sabha Fortress, a historic mudbrick castle that was a center of power for the Fezzan region under various rulers, including the Ottoman Empire. Today, it remains an important administrative and cultural center in the Libyan Sahara.
