About Black Sea Turkey
The climate is oceanic on the coasts; warm, showery summers (averaging around 25-27°C during the day, 10-15 days of rain a month), mild transitional seasons, and cool, wet winters (averaging around 6-10°C during the day, 15-20 days of precipitation a month). Snow is occasional in winter, and melts quickly. One important rule of thumb is that east-facing cities, such as Samsun and Sinop, are often better protected from storms than their west-facing counterparts, such as Zonguldak or Rize. Mountainous regions have a colder and much snowier variant of the coastal climate; while lowlands far from the coasts are continental, with very warm, somewhat dry summers, and cold, snowy winters.
