As expected, Mediterranean Turkey enjoys the typical Mediterranean climate: the temperature can go above 40�C in rainless?and even cloudless?summers, while the rest of the year is quite rainy, although winter lows rarely go below +5�C and snowfall is virtually unknown in the region (except the tops of the quite high mountains close to the coastal strip, of course). The season with the highest amount of rainfall is winter (more or less limited to late October through early April in this region) and can be accompanied by strong winds, to the point of storms, in the localities close to the shore, especially around Antalya.
Water temperature of the Mediterranean Sea is around 28�C during summer, i.e. May through October.
Inland Lakes District has an altogether different continental climate than the rest of the region, and the winters can be severe and quite snowy there.
