Beirut

Lebanon

Quote

This is Beirut...

Home of the Alphabet
Home of all religions
Home of a 15 years of civil war (1975-1990)
Home of the Israeli invasion (1982)
Home of a 15 years under syrian occupation (1990-2005)
Home of Islamic Radicalism
Home of Hezbollah and the so called terrorism
Home of Christian fanaticism
Home of militias and armed civilians
Home of corrupted politicians and unfaithful cardinals
Home of Anarchy and organized chaos
This is Beirut... It's a home for those who don't have any!

Climate

Beirut has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate characterized by warm days and nights, yet summers can be virtually rainless. Autumn and spring are cool, with rainy winters. August is considered the only really hot month, with a monthly average high temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), and January and February are the coldest months, with a monthly average low temperature of 11 °C (52 °F). The prevailing wind during the afternoon and evening is from the west (onshore, blowing in from the Mediterranean); at night it reverses to offshore, blowing from the land out to sea.

The average annual rainfall is 893 millimetres (35.2 in), with the majority falling in winter, autumn and spring. Much of the autumn and spring rain falls in heavy downpours on a limited number of days, but in winter it is spread more evenly over a large number of days. Summer receives very little rainfall, if any. Snow is rare, except in the mountainous eastern suburbs, where snowfall is common due to the region's high altitudes. Large snowstorms, however, have occurred as recently as: 1920, 1942 and 1950.
