CLIMATE

It is a generally temperate climate type with precipitation in every season. Frontal and orographic precipitation is dominant. The presence of high mountains parallel to the coast in the region has created an environment for increased precipitation. Although not among the precipitation amounts in the region, the highest precipitation is seen in autumn and the least in spring. The region is also the most humid region of our country in terms of humidity. Therefore, annual and daily temperature differences are not much in the region. At the same time, winters are not very cold in the region, but they are rainy. Precipitation is mostly in the form of rain, and snowfall, frost events, as well as frequent fog can be seen. Summer months are also temperate in the region. The average of the warmest month does not exceed 22°C-24°C. The average temperature of the coldest month is always above 0°C. Although cold air masses coming from the northwest affect the region from time to time, this effect disappears as one goes to the east of the region. The region shows variations in terms of temperature and precipitation according to its geographical characteristics. Precipitation occurs as the cool and moist air coming over the Black Sea rises along the North Anatolian Mountains. Due to the high altitude in the Eastern Black Sea Section, the highest precipitation is seen in this section. The annual amount of precipitation averages 2000 mm (Rize 2300 mm). On the southern part of the North Anatolian Mountains, this value drops to 300 mm. The Central Black Sea Section, on the other hand, is the section receiving the least precipitation in the region due to decreasing altitude. Here, the annual amount of precipitation averages around 700 mm. In the Western Black Sea Section, in parallel with the fact that the altitude is less than the Eastern Black Sea Section, precipitation in this section is less than the Eastern Black Sea Section. The annual amount of precipitation is around 1200 mm. Throughout the region, the annual amount of precipitation can exceed 2000 mm, especially in the Eastern Black Sea Section, while it can drop to 600 mm in the Central Black Sea Section.
