Turkey: Climate & Weather
The climate in Turkey is influenced by its eastern location and by the sea that surrounds it. Summers are very hot and humid in some areas. As soon as one moves away from the sea, temperatures can be scorching. At altitude, however, the nights are cool. On the Black Sea Coast, the climate is almost tropical in some respects and the vegetation is very dense.
Winters are harsh inland, more humid on the coast. Enjoy discovering the country during the months of May and June, or September and October for the best conditions, both in terms of climate and prices. |
