CLIMATES
Turkey is located at the south of the medium
climate zone when the geographical location is taken into
consideration and is under the effect of "Mediterranean Climate",
which is a type of subtropical climate in which the summer season
passes dry.
Mediterranean Region
The Mediterranean climate is encountered among the shoreline in
which the summer season is hot and dry and winter season is warm and
precipitant. Burdur and Isparta provinces behind the Toros (Taurus)
Mountains to the west are the transition region between the
Mediterranean climate and terrestrial climate. It is possible to
swim in Mediterranean Region for the duration of 7 months ( Starting
from the beginning of May until the end of October.)
Aegean Region
The Mediterranean climate is encountered among the shoreline. The
climate hardens when moved towards the inner regions. At these
regions, the terrestrial climate starts. The swimming season in
Aegean Sea is 4-5 months (Between June and end of October ).
Marmara Region
The winter season is extremely cold. The frost events and snow
precipitation is frequently encountered. The drought situation of
summer season is lesser when compared with Mediterranean. The
swimming season in Marmara Sea is 3 months (Between June and end of
August). Sometimes it is possible to swim in sea in September
Black Sea Region
The Black Sea climate, which is precipitant in all seasons is
separated into three types. In Eastern Black Sea Region (Trabzon,
Rize) the precipitation is at the highest value, the summer season
temperature is high and the winter season temperature is warm. In
Central Black Sea Region, (Ordu) the precipitation is respectively
in lesser values. It resembles the Mediterranean climate. The
Western Black Sea Region (Zonguldak, Sinop) has low precipitation
and the moisture ratio in summer season is low. The season for
swimming in Black Sea is between the end of June until the middle of
August.
Central Anatolia Region
The winter season is cold and the summer season is slightly warmer
than the drought encountered in the Mediterranean climate type. The
precipitation occurs in spring and autumn.
Eastern Anatolia Region
The severe terrestrial climate is encountered in Eastern Anatolia
and the winter season continues for a long period with snow and
frequent frost events. Summer seasons are chilly in respect to
Southeastern Anatolia Region.
Southeastern Anatolia Region
The steppe climate type is encountered and in the summer season,
very high temperatures are encountered. The drought is extremely
severe. The evaporation is dense and might reach to 1000-2000 mm. or
more yearly.
