Libya Weather Alert: Thunderstorms and Heavy Rain Hit 8 Regions on June 12
Breaking: National Meteorological Center Issues Storm Warning
The National Meteorological Center of Libya has issued its daily weather bulletin for Friday, June 12, 2026, forecasting moderate conditions across the northwestern coast with a gradual eastward expansion. Thunderstorms are expected to intensify by evening over western regions, bringing scattered rainfall and a noticeable temperature drop over the next 48 hours.
Coastal Regions: Mild Skies with Gradual Cooling
From Ras Ijdair through Sirte to the Jafara Plain and Nafusa Mountains, skies will range from clear to partly cloudy. Northwesterly winds will shift gradually toward the northeast. Temperatures along the coast and western mountain range will hover between 26°C and 30°C, while inland areas including Bani Walid, Gharyan, Mizda, and Abunjim will reach 32°C to 36°C. A significant temperature decline is expected starting Saturday.
Eastern Libya: Cloud Buildup and Rain Chances
The Gulf coast and Benghazi Plain up to Amsaad will see frequent cloud formation overnight and into Saturday, with scattered rainfall likely along coastal areas and the Green Mountain region. Winds will turn northwesterly, moderate to occasionally active. Temperatures will range from 27°C to 32°C, with a noticeable cooling trend beginning tomorrow morning.
Southern Zones: Thunderstorms and Extreme Heat
Southern regions — including Jufra, Sabha, Ghat, Ghadames, and Al-Hamada — face the most dramatic weather. Thunderstorm clouds will build by evening, particularly over Ghadames, Al-Hamada, Jufra, the Haruj Mountains, and border areas adjacent to Algeria, where scattered rain is expected. Winds will shift from easterly and southeasterly to northeasterly. Despite the storms, temperatures remain dangerously high at 39°C to 42°C before a predicted drop on Saturday.
Oases and Remote South: Dry but Scorching
The oases of Sirte, Tazirbu, Al-Kufra, and surrounding areas will experience clear to partly cloudy skies with light to moderate northwesterly and northeasterly winds. Temperatures will range between 38°C and 41°C. A slight cooling is forecast for the oases on Saturday, with the rest of the deep south seeing relief by Sunday.
Key Forecast Data at a Glance

Safety Precautions for Libyan Residents
The National Meteorological Center urges residents in storm-affected areas — particularly Ghadames, Jufra, Ghat, and border zones — to exercise caution during evening hours. Flash flooding is possible in low-lying wadis and desert valleys where thunderstorms converge. Drivers on desert highways should reduce speed and avoid crossing dry riverbeds during active rain. Coastal residents in the east should secure loose outdoor items as northwesterly winds may gust to active levels overnight.
What Comes Next: Week-Ahead Outlook
According to the National Meteorological Center, moderate weather conditions will persist across most of Libya — especially in the north and central regions — through the middle of next week. The cooling trend beginning Saturday marks a welcome respite from the extreme June heat that has gripped the country, particularly in southern zones where temperatures have consistently exceeded 40°C. Residents are advised to monitor official updates from the Center as weather patterns shift over the coming days.
