Halab (Aleppo) has a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen BSh), with very hot, dry summers and cool to mild winters. The city is inland and typically much drier than coastal Syria, with most rainfall falling in the cooler season and long stretches of sunny weather through summer. Current conditions can be much warmer and drier than the annual average, but the long-term climate remains strongly seasonal and arid.

Halab
Note: I need to be direct with you: Aleppo (Halab) is currently not a viable relocation destination for most expats. Syria has experienced sustained conflict since 2011, and the security situation remains unstable despite some areas seeing reduced active fighting. International travel advisories strongly discourage civilian relocation, and essential services—including reliable healthcare, utilities, and banking infrastructure—remain severely compromised.
If you're genuinely exploring Middle Eastern options, I'd recommend reconsidering cities like Beirut, Amman, or Dubai, where expat communities are established and daily life functions predictably. If Aleppo specifically interests you professionally or personally, consult current on-the-ground contacts and your government's travel guidance before any serious planning.
