CLIMATE

A continental climate is observed in our Southeastern Anatolia Region. The characteristic of the continental climate is that winters are cold and snowy, and summers are generally hot and arid. In places where the continental climate is observed, winter starts early and there is an average of 90 days of snow on the ground. Summers also start as early as winter and are hot, but since the humidity is low, this heat is not felt much; the temperature difference between night and day and the annual temperature difference is very high.
