May weather forecast
Libya

May in Libya signifies the final month of spring, marked by a significant increase in temperatures across the country and the onset of an arid climate that precedes the summer season.

In the subtropical desert regions such as Al Wahat and Kufra, May brings about substantially higher temperatures. Daytime readings typically vary from 30°C (86°F) to 35°C (95°F), presenting a clear transition towards the heat of the summer months.

Coastal cities like Tripoli and Benghazi also witness an upsurge in temperatures during May. Average temperatures in these areas are between 24°C (75.2°F) and 28°C (82.4°F). While still milder compared to the desert regions, the coastal areas begin to feel the intensifying heat.

Jabal al Akhdar, the region with a Mediterranean climate, sees average temperatures ranging between 22°C (71.6°F) and 26°C (78.8°F) in May. Although still cooler than the desert regions, this area also experiences a noticeable uptick in temperatures.

As far as precipitation is concerned, May witnesses a further decline across Libya. The country experiences scarce rainfall, and even the typically wetter region of Jabal al Akhdar sees a considerable reduction in precipitation during this month.

While May does not hold any specific weather records for Libya, it is symbolic of the transition from the relatively cooler and wetter spring season to the dry and hot climate of the forthcoming summer months. With each passing day, the soaring temperatures and diminishing rainfall herald the imminent arrival of the arid summer season.
