August weather forecast
Lebanon

August in Lebanon is the hottest month of the year, with high temperatures sustained across the country and negligible rainfall.

Coastal cities such as Sidon and Byblos face high temperatures in August, averaging between 25°C (77°F) and 31°C (87.8°F). The influence of the Mediterranean Sea is crucial in these areas, offering some respite from the heat with its cooling breezes, particularly during the evenings. Despite the intense heat, beach activities and water sports are popular pastimes during this period.

Mountainous regions, including towns like Zahle and Broummana, witness temperatures ranging from 20°C (68°F) to 30°C (86°F). Even with these high temperatures, the mountains offer a cooler alternative to the coast and the valley, making them a popular refuge during the peak of summer.

In the Bekaa Valley, the temperature can soar, ranging between 27°C (80.6°F) and 37°C (98.6°F). The intense heat, combined with the valley's semi-arid climate, makes August the most challenging month weather-wise in this region.

When compared to July, August maintains the high temperatures, solidifying its position as the peak of the summer season. The transition into September brings a slight relief as temperatures begin to drop, signaling the approaching end of the summer season. However, the weather remains mostly dry, with the possibility of the first autumn rains appearing towards the end of September.
