Het weer in Rize in september

Regulars are specific this counts as one of the best months to visit the wider country, not too hot and not too cold in early September, though the water here specifically turns cold after the middle of the month even as some visitors from colder countries keep swimming into October regardless. Our row backs that warm, genuinely wet read, 25.9C reading as a hot 29C, over 19.1C nights feeling 21C, with a substantial 248.7mm of rain across 16 days and humidity at 87 percent. Regulars are direct it rains a lot here specifically, genuine advice to have a backup city-exploring plan ready for any day the beach doesn't work out. The sea sits at a warm 26.1C. The record: 9.6 hours of sun, a 10.1 kph wind and AQI 41.

Rize's own forum doesn't oversell November: it's one of the wettest stretches of the year here, with cold, rainy evenings down in town, while real snow is mostly reserved for the yaylas (highland pastures) above. Posters warned that unpaved roads up to those highland areas can turn muddy or close outright this time of year, needing 4WD if passable at all, and that a fair amount of accommodation outside the main towns shuts down for the season. The main coastal highway stays open and reliable, so the town itself and a Black Sea coastal drive remain doable even if the yaylas aren't.

Forum posters name May through October as the ideal weather window for Turkey's eastern Black Sea coast, including Rize, though posters visiting in May specifically describe conditions as still pretty cold despite sunshine, with a lot of rain and even snow still piled up along the nearby Zigana mountain pass. Posters consistently flag Rize as one of the greenest, wettest parts of the country - rainfall here is described as exceeding even notoriously rainy Singapore - so real rain on any given May day shouldn't come as a surprise. Posters note the region's tea, hazelnut and kiwi agriculture depends on exactly this wet climate, framing the rain as a defining, expected feature of a Rize visit rather than an unlucky exception.
