weather in Lebanon

[Sergej]

Spossiba Andre'. Nice mountain picture. It seems Switzerland !

Keep up your nice Country.

For Sergej and everybody!

Yes, when you think about Lebanon, you can immagine the sunny and hot days.

It can be thrue on the coast in summer, yes! like Beirut......

But Lebanon is covered by mountains.......and you can see the snow for long time because.

We have the 50% of the country over 1000 m, alt max 3083 m...
The disposition of mountains are vertical to the humid perturbations became from the mediterranean sea. Stau effect.....
The majority of precipitation here are in winter, for that it can be easy for rain to turn in snow in the mountains....

We have normally 6 month of snow cover on the summits, and some small patches can resist in summer over 2500 m......

I put here one photo for you (from the snowy mountains of Lebanon!)

[André Eid]

The date is visible in the last photo, 2 February 2008, at 1300 m, mountain at 2400-2600 m.

Here un another one with me...the same day...the same place.....I love the snow!

Clic to enlarge the photo...

Thanks! ciao!
