Bursa Climate Overview
Turkey spans multiple climate zones due to its vast geography. The Aegean and Mediterranean coasts experience hot summers and mild winters, while the Black Sea coast receives heavy rainfall year-round. Central Anatolia has a continental climate with harsh winters and hot, dry summers. Eastern Turkey sees extreme cold in winter, with temperatures dropping below -30°C.
Seasonal Patterns
Spring (April–May) is ideal across most regions with moderate temperatures. Summer (June–August) brings intense heat to the south and interior, with temperatures above 40°C. Autumn is mild and pleasant. Winter varies dramatically: Istanbul averages 5°C, while Erzurum in the east drops to -15°C.
Weather Considerations
Turkey is prone to severe weather events including heavy snowfall in the east, flooding along the Black Sea coast, and occasional dust storms in southeastern regions. The country sits in a major seismic zone, and weather-related landslides can follow heavy rains in mountainous terrain.
