This is the weather in Alanya

This is the weather in Alanya

Alanya is situated 36 degrees 32 minutes north and 32 degrees 1 minute east in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. North of the city are the massive Taurus Mountains where the peaks reach up to 3,000 metres above sea level. You will also find here several plateaus with beautiful scenery where the local people live.
With mild, rainy, wet winters and hot, dry summers, the climate in Alanya is typical of any town on the Mediterranean coast. December and January are the wettest months while August is the driest.
The average temperature in Alanya is around 19 degrees. August is the hottest with an average of 27 degrees while January is the coldest with an average of only 12 degrees. The temperature in the mountain plateaus is normally 13-14 degrees lower than the temperature in Alanya. In the town night frost is rare and snow is almost never seen. Nevertheless bananas, oranges and vegetables are always planted in places where the cold and the north winds from the mountains cannot reach them.
Normally the wind will come from the southeast. During the winter though, Alanya often experiences storms from the south. Although they can be pretty fierce, they rarely do any damage.
