alalah has a hot desert climate overall, but what makes it special is the Khareef season (monsoon), roughly from June to September, when the usually arid landscape becomes lush, green, and misty. During Khareef, cooler temperatures, clouds, dew, occasional light rain or drizzle, waterfalls appear, and vegetation thrives. Outside of that, the climate is dry, with higher temperatures and less greenery
