To promote the concept of food security in sustainable development and highlight the role of agrometeorological services in Libya, the National Meteorological Centre ( NMC ) participated in the Agricultural Exhibition, which was held in conjunction with the First Scientific Conference on Digital Agriculture in Libya at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tripoli, from 5 – 7 / 3 / 2023.
Starting from Saturday evening 26 / 11 / 2022 to Sunday 27 / 11 / 2022, the northwestern regions of Libya were affected by air depression at 1007 hPa, associated with air depression in the upper layers of the atmosphere. This situation led to heavy rains recorded between 45 - 128 mm within 24 hours causing local valleys runoff and flash flooding leading to two deaths.
The northern regions of Libya were affected on Tuesday 25 / 1 / 2022 by a cold air mass centered on the northeastern regions, which witnessed rainfall ranging from 21 - 37 mm, and heavy snowfall between 10 - 20 cm continued since Tuesday. The snow blanketed Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar regions of Sidi AlHamri - Al-Faydiya - Shahat - Al-Bayda - Qandula - Belqes. Some roads were closed due to the accumulation of snow, and a thunderbolt caused a gym in Shahat to burn. The National Meteorological Centre (NMC) issued and disseminated an early warning to the public sectors and via the media 48 hours before the occurrence of this extreme urging them to take more care and caution.
The northeastern regions of Libya were affected by air depression accompanied by cold polar air mass on Sunday 19/12/2021, especially over the areas of Al‐Jabal Al‐Akhdar, which witnessed hail and snow falling as well as heavy rain ranging from 41‐58 mm on Sidi Al‐Hamri ‐ Al‐Faidiyah ‐ Belqas ‐ Al‐Bayda ‐ Shahat. The maximum temperatures in these areas did not exceed 6°C, whereas they ranged from 9°C ‐ 11°C in the other northeastern regions.
