I don't believe that I am qualified to discuss the climate during Alexander the Great's days as an educator.

Why

Two reasons, mostly.

Firstly, while I've never had much of a head for history, I don't recall Alexander the Great ever being an instructor. I am aware of his time as a ruler, and as a military leader (and I suppose he probably had a hand in training at least some of the men who served with/under him), but I don't know of any particular time wherein he acted as an educator.

Secondly, I'm extremely poorly versed in climatology, much less historical climatology. As such, I genuinely don't have a clue what the weather would have been like during Alexander the Great's life as a whole, much less during the specific time he may have acted as an instructor.

Because of my own admitted ignorance, I simply can't say that I have the qualifications necessary to be useful in such a discussion.

I can, however, say that Alexander the Great is a pretty interesting historical figure, though whether or not he's the most interesting is a completely subjective matter.
