Climate of Syria
Syria's weather is characterized by great mildness and relatively high precipitation, but varies considerably from area to area.
The coastal regions lie within the subtropical-Mediterranean climate, while the interior of the country has a continental climate. The southeastern areas are under the influence of a tropical-dry climate.
Summers are generally hot and dry, with temperatures reaching 30°C, and exceeding 40°C in semi-desert and desert areas. Winter, on the other hand, is humid but mild (about 12°C to 15°C).
Although Syria is a fairly humid country, with 750 mm to 1,000 mm of precipitation per year, droughts and sand and dust storms occur in the eastern and desert areas. During winter (November to March), precipitation increases, mainly rain, however, snow is possible in the mountains and the Central Plateau.
