Tripoli experiences a Mediterranean climate, which is characterized by a hot, dry summer season and a cool, rainy winter season.1
- Summers: The summer months are hot and dry. July and August are the warmest months, with average temperatures typically ranging from the low 60s to the mid-80s F (upper 10s to low 30s C).1
- Winters: The winter season is cool and rainy, with January and February being the coolest months. During this time, average temperatures in Tripoli generally range from the upper 40s to the low 60s F (low to mid-10s C).1
The coastal region where Tripoli is located benefits from the moderating influence of the Mediterranean Sea, which helps distinguish its climate from the hot, arid conditions found in the Sahara further inland.1
