in Lebanon
Most of Lebanon has a Mediterranean climate, with warm,
dry summers, and cool, wet winters, although the climate
varies somewhat across the landform belts. The coastal plain
is subtropical, with 900 mm (35 in) of annual rainfall and
a mean temperature in Beirut of 27°C (80°F) in summer
and 14°C (57°F) in winter. In the Lebanon Mountains,
temperatures decrease and precipitation increases with elevation:
Heavy winter snows linger well into summer, making the Lebanon
Mountains more pleasant in the summer than the humid coast;
higher altitudes receive as much as 1,300 mm (50 in) of
annual precipitation. The Bekáa Valley and the Anti-Lebanon
Mountains are situated in the rain shadow of the Lebanon
Mountains and as a result have hot, dry summers and cold
winters with occasional rain.
