In the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts the climate is cool with rainy winters, and hot moderately dry summers in contrast to the Black Sea coast that receives the greatest amount of rainfall. The Anatolian Plateau is much more subject to extremes than the coastal areas, where winters are especially severe and the temperatures could down from -30°C to -40°C in the mountainous areas in the east. However in the west, winter temperatures average are below 1°C. Summers are hot and dry with temperatures above 30°C.
The climate in the Black Sea area is wet and warm on summer the average is 23ºC and on winter 7ºC. In Eastern Anatolia and South-Eastern Anatolia there is a long hard winter; days and nights are cold with the snow lying on the ground from November until the end of April with an average temperature of 13ºC. During the summer the average is 17ºC. Western Anatolia as well as the southern coast of Anatolia has a mild Mediterranean climate with average temperatures of 9ºC in winter and 29ºC in summer.
Mountains close to the coast prevent Mediterranean influences from extending inland, giving the interior of Turkey a continental climate with distinct seasons. In Istanbul and around the sea of Marmara the climate is moderate in winter the temperature can drop below zero.
