CLIMATE

Since the region is surrounded by high mountains, the humid and mild air of the seas cannot penetrate the region. For this reason, a continental climate prevails in the region, with hot and dry summers and cold and snowy winters. In the region, the degree of continentality increases as one moves towards the east due to the increase in altitude, and winter temperatures reach very low values. Central Anatolia is the region of our country that receives the least precipitation. The average rainfall is around 400 mm. The region receives the most precipitation in the form of showers in the spring months. The driest season is summer. The fact that summers are dry and the summer drought starts early has a negative effect on vegetable-type plants. The least rainy place in the region and our country is the surroundings of Lake Tuz (320 mm). The lack of precipitation is due to the region being closed to the sea effect. The humid air mass coming from the sea leaves its moisture as precipitation on the slopes of the mountains facing the sea. By the time it blows towards the Central Anatolia Region, it is already dry.
