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.
