How does Turkey's climate differ from the rest of the Mediterranean?

Answer 1

The south is same as the rest of Mediterranean. (Very hot and humid summers. Rainy and mild winters. Snow is extremly rare) West is a little colder but nearly same. (It sometimes snows there) North has an Oceanic climate. (Very rainy all year) Central Anatolia has mild continental clima. Southeastern Anatolia is part Mediterranean part continental. (Cold and snowy winters. Extremly hot but not humid summers) Eastern Anatolia has an extremly hard continental climate. ( -30 - -40 can easly occur there in winters. Summers are generally mild)

By the way, Turkey has a very rich Biodiversity because of all these different climates.

Answer 2

One very important fact about the "climate of Turkey" is that Turkey does not have one uniform climate! The geography/topography of Turkey (which is larger than Texas or France for comparison) is so varied, that there are numerous and distinct climate types.

The interior plateau of Turkey, thus most of the country, has a continental climate with cold, snowy winters and hot, dry summers. During winter, temperatures generally average below the freezing point of 0 °C (32 °F). Winters in the plateau, especially in the eastern part of the country, are very severe. Temperatures of −30 °C to −40 °C (−22 °F to −40 °F) do occur in eastern Turkey, and snow may lie on the ground at least 120 days of the year. During summers, temperatures are generally above 30 °C (86 °F) in the day, which often surpass 40 °C (104 °F) in southeastern Turkey. The interior of Turkey is semi-arid, because the mountains close to the coast prevent maritime influences from extending inland. Annual precipitation is less than 400 millimetres (15 in) in many places, which makes the interior the driest place in Turkey.

The coastal areas of Turkey bordering the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea have a temperate Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild to cool, wet winters. The coastal areas of Turkey bordering the Black Sea have a temperate Oceanic climate with warm, wet summers and cool to cold, wet winters. Snow does occur on the coastal areas of the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea almost every winter, but it usually lies no more than a few days. Snow on the other hand is rare in the coastal areas of the Aegean Sea and very rare in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea. The Turkish Black Sea coast receives the greatest amount of precipitation and is the only region of Turkey that receives high precipitation throughout the year. The eastern part of that coast averages 2,500 millimeters (100 in) annually which is the highest precipitation in the country.

Answer 3

Turkey's climate differs from the rest of the Mediterranean in that it has more diverse climatic regions due to its size and topography. Coastal areas have a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, while inland regions experience more extreme temperatures with hot summers and cold winters. Eastern Turkey, near the mountains, has a continental climate with very cold winters and hot summers.

Answer 4

Turkey's weather is variable. (for example when it's snowing in one part of Turkey, the other part can be sunny.) Because you can see four seasons in different parts of Turkey.
