Beirut’s weather is shaped by its Mediterranean coast, bringing hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Check the live forecast above for today’s conditions, then plan around the city’s distinct seasonal shifts for travel or daily routines.
What is the typical weather pattern in Beirut?
Beirut sits on Lebanon’s western coast, so summers from June to September are consistently hot and cloudless, with average highs around 31°C and low humidity. Winters from December to February are cooler and wetter, with average highs near 17°C and the bulk of the city’s annual rainfall. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable temperatures for exploring, though occasional rain can still occur in April and November.
Does Beirut have a windy or dusty season?
Beirut can experience occasional dust storms when dry winds from the east, known as “khamsin,” push through. These events are most common in spring and autumn, reducing visibility and causing a sharp temperature rise.
