CLIMATE

Since the region is surrounded by high mountains, the humid temperate air of the seas cannot enter 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, as one goes towards the east, the degree of continentality increases 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 precipitation 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 arid and the summer drought starts early has a negative effect on vegetable-type plants. The place with the least precipitation in the region and our country is the surroundings of Lake Tuz (320 mm). The lack of precipitation is due to the fact that the region is 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. It is already dry when it blows towards the Central Anatolia Region.
