מזג האוויר במרמריס באוגוסט

Regulars quote an August average high of 30.7C and a discomfort that comes from the nights rather than the days, with minimums of 25 to 26C - our row reads 30.6C and 25.1C, which is as close as these things get. July and August are the meltemi's peak: it blows from between north-east and north-west, hardest in the afternoon, often dropping at night, and it is what tempers the heat. That makes the island two places. The west is windier with rougher beaches and runs mid to high thirties; the east is calmer, sandier and sheltered, and several degrees hotter for exactly that reason. The record: 0.8mm of rain, 12.4 hours of sun, a 27.7C sea and AQI 81.

Marmaris forum posters describe March as a genuine coin-flip month: warm and sunny stretches alternate with days of proper rain, and one traveler mentioned being confined to their hotel for a stretch of torrential downpours before the sun came back out. Evenings turn chilly regardless of how the day went, so a layer is worth carrying even on a nice afternoon. Most restaurants and bars away from the immediate beachfront stay open through the off-season, so there's no shortage of places to wait out a rainy spell - just don't expect beach weather to hold for a whole week straight.

Forum posters describe early September as still genuinely hot - mid-to-high 30sC - cooling gradually to the low 30sC by month's end, with sea and pool water staying nicely warm after a full summer of sun. By around the third week, posters note nights start cooling enough that air conditioning becomes unnecessary, and a cardigan may be useful for the very end of the month. Weather is described as largely excellent but genuinely 'hit or miss' at times, with occasional torrential storms (thunder and lightning) reported, though these clear within hours rather than settling in. The overall consensus: September ranks among the best months to visit, with comfortable day and night temperatures plus better bargains once school-age tourists have gone home.
