When to go to Syria
April, May, September and October are the best months to visit Syria, with low rainfall and temperatures somewhere in the mid to late twenties.
The country enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cool winters, when the north of the country usually sees fairly significant rainfall.
There is some regional variation in the climate throughout the country. Most of Syria has an average temperature of around 5C in December and January, but whereas Deir Ezzor in the dry eastern half of the country only has about 30mm of rain a month at this time, Aleppo has more than twice as much. Damascus falls somewhere between the two.
The higher, western part of the country sees snow through much of the winter. Summers are always dry, with temperatures ranging from the mid-thirties in Damascus and Aleppo to an average of nearly 40C in the east.
