With one of the harshest deserts in the world meeting the mild Mediterranean, most of Libya has a changeable climate. Coastal regions see the most pleasant weather between June and October with sunny, high-20°C (low-80°F) days and little rain. Winters are fairly temperate but bring occasional rains. Between March and June desert winds referred to locally as the ghibli hit the coastal regions, with temperatures on some days exceeding a nasty 50°C (122°F).
