Possible October Trip
I am looking at possibly visiting the beautiful city of Beirut again in October. The last time I visited was a year ago, in August. What is the temperature and humidity like in the middle of October versus how it was in August. As far as clothing, would I still be looking at packing mainly shorts and tank tops, or is it cool enough for jeans and t-shirts?
Also, how close is the Radisson in terms of walking to the downtown area? In the past I have stayed in the Raouche district and Hamra districts, but, wondering how this area where the Radisson would be. I have done most of my "exploring" on tours outside of Beirut and am looking at trying to get to some of the sites within the city. Any suggestions?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Re: Possible October Trip
The walking distance from Radisson to "Nejmeh sq." (I guess that is what you're referring to as downtown) would be approx 1,5 km.
Weather: Certainly not as hot and humid as August, but certainly above 30 C at its warmest. You could also have occasional heavy rain showers, the probability of this increasing towards the months end. Bring a sweater if you're going up in the mountains.
Re: Possible October Trip
October will be a nice time to visit , would not be hot nor cold yet , usually in october temprature is around 20 degrees , u could encounter some rain (not heavY).
radisson martinez is in ain mreisseh area , not too far from downtown around 30 mns walking . but as u know beirut is too small . so hamra is a great location too
Re: Possible October Trip
Hello , due to the global warming it's difficult to predict.
In general it will be sunny and cool, but occasionaly it might be cloudy and rainy.Humidity will decrease comparing to August.
Jeans and T-shirts would be good.
I dont know what are you interested in specifically, but I'd be delighted
to help you decide depending on your desires .
