Vejret i Side i december

The Side forum is full of people hoping for a beach-ready March, and the honest answer from regulars is: it's pleasant for sightseeing, not for swimming yet. Daytime highs mostly sit in the mid-teens C, several posters warned evenings turn properly cool and you'll want a jacket or cardigan the moment the sun drops, and a couple described getting caught out by a sudden, heavy downpour that shut down outdoor plans for an afternoon. It's a good month for walking the ancient theatre and harbor without summer crowds or heat, just don't pack only summer dresses like one traveler admitted she did.

Forum posters describe early September on Turkey's Turquoise Coast as still solidly hot, commonly 27-30C under cloudless skies, with humidity noticeably lower than the peak of July-August. One poster tracking a specific late-September week reported days staying warm while evenings turned genuinely chilly by the last week of the month - cool enough to want a jacket or cardigan after dark, a real shift from earlier in the month. Sea and pool temperatures are described as comfortably 'just right' for swimming throughout, with posters generally rating September as an easier, less oppressive alternative to midsummer while the back half of the month starts trending toward autumn evenings.
