April
April temperatures will
regularly reach above 20 degrees Celsius, with lows of around 10
degrees Celsius expected in the evenings. The increase in
temperatures at this time marks the very start of the tourist
season, although it is not until May that beaches really start to
become populated. Rainfall of around 33mm is expected at this time
of year, significantly lower than in winter months. Many days will
be sunny and dry, so it's a great time to visit Kalkan, before the
busier summer months.
May
May is when summer really begins
in Kalkan, with temperatures reaching average highs of 25 degrees
Celsius and lows of around 13 degrees Celsius in the evenings. The
beaches will start to come alive as long, sunny days are now on the
horizon. Expected rainfall is around 21mm during May, so it is much
less likely to interfere with any travel plans. The majority of May
is expected to be dry, sunny and warm.
June
Clear blue skies are much more
plentiful with average temperatures ranging from 17 degrees to 29
degrees Celsius, and sometimes, even above 30 degrees. Kalkan's
summer has officially arrived, and more visitors begin to start
their holidays. It is unlikely to rain much, and when it does, it
is normally just a light drizzle. The average predicted rainfall in
June is a low 7mm, so it is very rare that anyone would endure a
soggy wet day. Beaches and swimming pools are used daily at this
time of year
July
Temperatures are now hitting the
high 30's and sometimes, reaching into the 40's. The average peak
temperature is around 32 degrees, whereas overnight temperatures
are often expected to be around 19 degrees Celsius. A cool sea
breeze can often help ease any discomfort the heat may cause, and
the summer heat is typically dry and not humid. July can often be
clear and dry throughout, with no rainfall, although it experiences
around 6mm of rainfall on average. This makes it a very popular
month for tourism.
August
Not only is August the hottest
month, but it is also the driest. This makes August an extremely
popular time to visit, especially as the school holidays are now
well underway. There are various beaches around Kalkan which make
for a perfect retreat from the heat. Temperatures can range from 19
degrees, and even into the 40's. It could be more uncomfortable for
those who are not used to the heat, but it certainly surpasses a
typical British summer! Rain is pretty much non-existent with an
average of 3mm predicted.
September
Temperatures begin to fall
slightly in September, but it is not too different to July and
August, with highs of around 30 degrees and lows of 17 degrees
Celsius. It's still very much t-shirt and shorts weather, and
beaches are still well populated. As the summer holiday comes to an
end and children return to schools, September begins to attract
more couples, and although still bustling, it is not quite as busy
perhaps, as July and August. A mere 11mm of rainfall is predicted
on average during the entire month, so outdoor activities remain
popular.
October
Heading into Autumn,
temperatures are still very reminiscent of summer with temperatures
ranging from 13 degrees to 25 degrees Celsius on average. This is
still a very popular time for tourism, as the heat is pleasant and
there are still many dry and sunny days left in the year. Average
rainfall rises a bit, but with just 57mm expected to fall it is
certainly not the rainy season yet. Kalkan's Mediterranean climate
means that rainfall stays minimal throughout most of the
year.
