Wetter in Alanya im Mai

Regulars are specific this stretch of coast runs its own microclimate, the hottest part of the wider Antalya coastline, with the second half of the month typically described as lovely and only the odd hour or two of rain. Our row backs that warm, genuinely dry read, 25C over 19.2C nights feeling 19C, with rain light at 37.9mm across 6.8 days and humidity at 68 percent. Regulars are honest experiences genuinely vary though, some visitors reporting real rain and cold enough nights to need trousers and a jacket even at the very end of the month, long-range forecasts here not always reliable. The sea itself reportedly runs warmer than a hotel pool by this point. The sea sits at 21.2C. The record: 12.6 hours of sun, a 13.2 kph wind and AQI 58.

Regulars describe this stretch from mid-July through August plainly as very hot with high humidity that makes a breeze hard to find, temperatures in the high thirties and occasionally touching forty. Our row backs it - 32.1C reading as 37C at 68.2 percent humidity, with nights holding 26.9C, so hotel air conditioning matters after dark as much as during the day. Their method is the one this whole coast converges on: sightsee early or late, stay in around midday, and take whatever breeze the sea offers if you are beside it. The water itself is the reward, consistently above 30C - our column says 30.3C - so swimming is never the problem here, only walking. Rain is negligible, 11.9mm across 4.2 days. The record: 12.3 hours of sun, a 12.7 kph wind and AQI 55.

Regulars give July as roughly 33C by day and 22C at night, with 45C possible in a heatwave but unusual, and they are clear that the heat is not the problem - the humidity is, and it is worst at night. Our row looks like it argues at 61 percent, but that is a daily average and the figure that matches their description is the dew point: 22.3C, which is the mark above which a night stops cooling you. Days of 31.9C read as 36C. Their advice follows from it: stay out of the sun between noon and three, keep the holiday in the water, and do not plan sightseeing around this month. The sea is 28.4C. The record: 8.4mm across 2.9 days, 13.4 hours of sun and AQI 51.

June on this coast is the month regulars recommend to anyone who does not want July and August, which they describe as reaching extremes: very nice and warm but not yet punishing, and with very little chance of rain - our row gives 20.6mm across 5.7 precipitation days. Their figures of 31C by day and 23C at night sit above our 28.6C monthly average high, which is the usual gap between a typical daily maximum and a month averaged. On the sea they and our row agree almost exactly: they say 25C, ours says 24.9C, and swimming is comfortable from the end of May onwards. June also carries 13.6 hours of sun a day, the most of any row in this collection. The record: humidity 68 percent, a 13 kph wind and AQI 53.

October in Alanya is the month the sea outlasts the air. Regulars report days in the mid to high 20s, sometimes still 30C at the end of the month, and a sea that stays warm enough to be better than the hotel pools, which by then can be chilly. Our row agrees almost exactly: 27.1C in the water against 26.9C in the air. Evenings are the part people underpack for, and a jacket is the standing advice. On whether anything is still open, the forum's answer is that Turkey does not close down in a block the way Spain or Greece can - businesses wind down gradually and most are still trading through October. The record: 20.3C nights, 3.3 precipitation days carrying 38mm, humidity 64 percent and 10.1 hours of sun.
