Home > Destinations > Mediterranean > Turkey > Season
and Climate
Turkey is a year-round destination depending on your itinerary.
Although the tourist "high season" (with associated
higher rates)is from mid-June through mid-September, Spring
and Fall are the best seasons to travel. The sun is warm and
skies are generally clear. You can expect mild to very warm
temperatures and little rain during this time. Summer temperatures
on land can be hot and humid, but cruising along the coast
is always pleasant.
Turkey is a large country with wide climatic variations according
to its distinctive regions. Humidity is moderate (40%) along
the Aegean coast and somewhat higher (50%-60%) in Istanbul,
and along the Black Sea. The coastal region is fairly warm
throughout the year with average temperatures ranging in the
70ºs-80ºs F in spring and summer. On the Anatolian
plateau daytime temperatures can be quite hot (90ºs in
July) with cool evenings requiring a medium weight jacket
or sweater. By late October there is a chance of light snowfall.
Trekking season in the Kackar Mountains is short, between
June and late August. Mountain weather conditions fluctuate
and you may experience some rain near the Black Sea. Daytime
summer temperatures in the mountains can rise into the 70ºs
F, falling to the low 40ºs F at night. |
