Traveller notes on Safranbolu in September
Notes from nearby Ankara (149 km away)
Safranbolu doesn't have its own notes for September yet — these are about Ankara, close enough to share the season.
The Türkiye forum's read on Ankara in September is dry heat by day and chilly at night, and the record is emphatic about both halves: highs near 27°C, lows near 14°C, and rain on fewer than two days across the whole month. That thirteen-degree daily swing is the thing to pack for — layers, plus a light waterproof if the trip also takes in Cappadocia, which regulars describe as behaving much the same way. September is broadly rated the better half of a window that starts going hit-and-miss from the middle of October, when thunderstorms and heavy rain arrive.
