Climate

All of the four seasons practically exist in Turkey. Surrounded by sea on three sides, the parallel location of the high mountains and the variety of geographical formations like valleys have led to this diversity. The climate is usually mild in the coastal regions due to the humidity from the sea. The central regions demonstrate typical characteristics of a continental climate. The Mediterranean and Aegean regions have the Mediterranean climate. Here, summers are hot and humid while winters are mild and rainy. The Mediterranean coast boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year. The Black Sea climate occurs in the northern regions of Turkey towards the Black Sea. The summer is not as hot as the Mediterranean region (about 25-30 C). The winter is colder than the south.  The main characteristic of this region is it the high amount of rainfall both in summer and winter.  Because of this Black Sea Region has a high percentage of woodland.  The continental climate is seen in regions far from the sea and also surrounded by mountains.  Temperature differences between night and day and summer and winter in this climate are very high. Rainfall is infrequent.  Winters are rather long and cold while summers are short but hot. The average weather through the year in Turkey     The main holiday season in Turkey is May, June, July, August and September. The weather gets cooler during the months of February, March, April and October and around mid-October the rainy season begins, usually with short showers (although some times it does rain for days, but not often) and then the sun bursts through the clouds once more.
