Погода: Трабзон, март

Forum posters describe November as probably rainy and cold in the evenings in Trabzon, with daytime temperatures around 12C, and consistently flag it as the second-rainiest month of the year here, meaning genuinely wet conditions should be expected. Posters describe November as too cold for swimming but not cold enough yet for skiing, sitting in a comfortable middle ground for general sightseeing - not too hot, not too cold. Posters note that snow is mainly confined to the highlands this time of year, and while main roads to popular spots like Uzungöl and Ayder stay accessible, unsealed roads up to the higher yaylas can turn muddy and may need a 4WD. Posters generally recommend a heavy jacket as essential and rate November as cool, wet but genuinely pleasant for sightseeing around Trabzon.

Forum posters describe May on Turkey's Black Sea coast as genuinely wet and variable, with days of heavy rain and even the occasional highway landslide a real possibility. Posters describe nearby mountain rivers running full and thundering with meltwater this time of year, surrounded by tea groves and forests that look insanely beautiful on the clear days - but clouds, mist and rain can keep that scenery mostly hidden for stretches at a time. One traveler reported sunshine but still-cold temperatures on their trip, with snow still visible along the higher Zigana mountain pass even in May. Posters consistently recommend packing rain gear and warm layers rather than counting on consistently mild spring weather this early in the season.
