Aleppo's Climate
Aleppo sits on an inland plateau in northern Syria, about 100 km from the Mediterranean coast and roughly 380 m above sea level, giving it a Mediterranean climate that grades into semi-arid. Summers (June–September) are hot, dry and intensely sunny with almost no rain, daytime highs of 34–40°C but cooler nights thanks to low humidity, while winters (December–February) turn mild and damp with frequent showers, occasional frost and rare light snow, dropping to 3–10°C. Spring and autumn are short and pleasantly temperate. Annual rainfall is modest and concentrated in the cold months.
