Climate :-
Due to the lack of
natural barriers, the climate is greatly influenced by the desert to the south
and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. The coastal regions have a Mediterranean
climate with moderate temperatures and enough rain during the winter season for
grain farming. Annual precipitation averages 380 mm (15 in) and falls mainly in
winter, and in the southern deserts, frequent periods of drought occur. A
scorching wind called the "GHIBLI" which is a hot, very dry, occasionally
blows into the usually humid coastal towns. The wind is most noticeable in
Western Libya and is often associated with the spring solstice.
