How hot is it in Syria during May?

The temperature reaches around 30℃ during the daytime in May, falling away to 19℃ at night. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.

Does it rain in Syria during May?

On average, there will be 3 rainy days during the month, amounting to 20.7mm in total. That's much drier than we see in England during August, and therefore not something to be concerned about. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.

Is it windy in Syria during May?

You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a gentle breeze that increases to moderate at times during May. With moderate humidity, any breeze will have a welcome cooling effect.
