The climate of Tripoli (Libya)
Tripoli is the capital of Libya and lies in the north-west of the country on the Mediterranean, close to an oasis. Tripoli is the largest town of Libya, almost two million people live in the country. It is an ancient town founded by the Phoenicians already in the seventh century B.C. In the centuries afterwards the town was in the hands of the Romans, the Greeks, the Spaniards, the Ottomans and the Italians. During the Second World war the town was occupied by the British, who ruled the town until 1951. After that Tripoli and Benghazi became the capital of the kingdom of Libya. During the revolt in Libya in 2011 the town was conquered by the rebellion army.
In Tripoli prevails a Mediterranean climate with influences of the adjacent Sahara desert. In the winter it is mild and it may rain once in a while, in the summer it is hot and dry. In the summer months precipitation is rare. Due to the influence of the seawater the differences in temperature are smaller than in the inland. In the daytime the temperature is tempered somewhat and in the evening and at night it cools down less here than in the inland of Libya.
