Kaş, Antalya hava durumu: ay ay

Kas-forum threads on January weather describe real year-to-year variation - some winters mild enough for a comfortable evening in a tea garden, others properly cold, with late January and February consistently singled out as the coldest, rainiest stretch of the whole year on this coast. When rain does arrive, regulars describe it as heavy rather than a drizzle, but rarely prolonged across multiple days in a row - a hard downpour that clears rather than settling in for a week. Evenings run genuinely cold regardless of how mild the day felt, a proper coat needed after dark. The practical complication for a January visit: the tourist season formally closes around October 29th, so many hotels and restaurants are shuttered through winter, narrowing the options considerably compared to summer. The record: 17.2C days feeling like 15C, 10.9C nights, a notably high 179mm across 14.2 days, 4cm of snowfall in the hills, a 19.2C sea and 7.9 hours of sun.

Forum posters describe March as lovely but genuinely cold, with rain a real likelihood on most visits and average minimum temperatures around 8C. Posters flag a real practical quirk: some hotels rely on solar or roof-tank hot water, so a cloudy or rainy stretch can mean no hot water at all. Posters are consistent that the sea stays very cold in March and the tourist season proper doesn't really start until around early May when it warms up. Posters generally recommend May or September instead for ideal weather with fewer crowds, though they still rate Kas highly in March as a quiet, uncrowded small seaside town - especially appealing for anyone specifically there to dive.

June in Kas is warm on land and colder in the water than the Turkish Mediterranean leads you to expect, and the reason is geology rather than season: the bay is deep and fed by cold springs, with snowmelt still in them into early May. Regulars hoping for 24 or 25C by mid-June get told the sea will not be what it is in September - our row says 24.1C against a 31.1C day reading as 35C. Their fix is local. The south side of the Cukurbag peninsula has warm water, and Limanagzi, a short boat ride across, is warm too, because neither is in the springs' path. Patara and Kaputas are the beautiful ones and the cold ones. The record: 23C nights, 3.8 precipitation days carrying 14.6mm and 13.6 hours of sun.

Kas-forum threads on July weather are blunt: one poster, comparing a cooler-season visit that worked fine for an elderly relative, says flatly that July would be too hot for the same trip. The record backs that read completely, and posters still call June through August the best window to visit despite the heat, precisely because precipitation is nearly absent through the whole stretch - the trade-off is that the same three months are also the busiest for tourism. The record: 34.3C days feeling like a sticky 39C, 26.4C nights, just 5mm across one day, a 27.9C sea, humidity a relatively low 58 percent and 13.4 hours of sun - Kas at its hottest and driest, exactly as the forum warns.

Kaş's forum calls September a genuine sweet spot — the summer heat eases off, the sea stays warm enough to swim, and regulars say the town noticeably quiets down by late September once local kids are back at school. Still plenty going on, just without the peak-season crush.

October in Kas is still shorts and t-shirt weather by day and a jacket after sunset, with a greater chance of rain than high summer - though the forum's line is that bad weather here does not last long. The sea is the reason to come this late: it stays good for swimming into December and by October is warmer than the pools, which is also why regulars name Kas as a place to learn to dive at the end of the month. The end-of-season feel is more relaxed rather than shut down, because Kas is a working town with visitors year-round and the shops and restaurants stay open. The record: 28C days that feel like 29C, 20.6C nights, 5.1 precipitation days carrying 33.2mm, 10 hours of sun and a 26.6C sea.

Kas-forum threads on December weather describe a sea still warm enough for a swim and days that regulars call usually mild, with January and February singled out as the genuinely wetter months by comparison - meaning December, while not dry, sits toward the better end of the winter stretch. One visitor recalls sitting comfortably in a tea garden on Christmas Day itself, though evenings turn properly cold once the sun is down, a real jacket needed after dark even on a mild day. The practical catch for December specifically: the town's tourist season formally closes on October 29th, so many hotels and restaurants are shuttered by winter, leaving a smaller, more local set of options open. Posters do note the occasional rough patch - one account described a genuinely stormy late-December stretch with boats lifted from the harbor - but call it an exception rather than the rule. The record: 19C days, 13C nights, 158mm across 13.4 days, 73 percent humidity, a 21.1C sea and 7.7 hours of sun.
