If you’re visiting Turkey on August 4, you can expect classic summer weather across most of the country. Sunshine will dominate popular holiday destinations, while a few northern regions may experience isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Temperatures will remain close to seasonal averages in many areas, although southern and southeastern Turkey will continue to be hotter than usual.
Strong north and northeast winds are also expected in parts of southwestern Marmara and the North Aegean, so travelers should be aware of occasionally breezy conditions along some coastal areas.
Istanbul Weather
Istanbul is expected to enjoy another pleasant summer day with partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies.
The daytime high will reach around 32°C, making it ideal for sightseeing, Bosphorus cruises and exploring the city’s historic districts. Humidity will be moderate, while stronger northerly winds may occasionally make the weather feel slightly cooler, especially near the waterfront.
Bodrum Weather
Bodrum will remain hot, sunny and dry throughout the day.
Temperatures are expected to reach around 37°C, with plenty of sunshine and little chance of rain. Visitors heading to the beaches and marinas can expect excellent holiday weather, although the afternoon sun will be intense. Breezy conditions may develop from the north at times.
Fethiye Weather
Fethiye is also set for another beautiful summer day.
Expect clear skies and temperatures around 37°C, perfect for boat trips, beaches and outdoor activities. While inland parts of the wider Mediterranean region could see isolated thunderstorms over the Taurus Mountains, the Fethiye coastline is expected to stay dry.
Antalya Weather
Antalya will continue to enjoy warm and sunny conditions.
The forecast high is around 33°C, accompanied by clear skies for most of the day. The city and its beaches should remain dry, although isolated showers may develop later in the day over the inland Taurus Mountains, well away from the main coastal resorts.

Central Turkey, including Ankara and Konya, will see warm summer weather with highs of around 34°C under partly cloudy skies.
The Black Sea region will be the least settled part of the country. Localized showers and thunderstorms are expected in parts of Rize, Artvin and the inland areas of Samsun, Giresun and Trabzon during the afternoon.
Eastern Anatolia will stay mostly dry and warm, although isolated thunderstorms are possible around Ardahan later in the day.
The hottest weather will once again be found in southeastern Turkey. Diyarbakır is expected to reach 42°C, while Şanlıurfa could see temperatures as high as 43°C under clear skies.
Wind Warning
The Turkish State Meteorological Service has issued a strong wind warning for southwestern Marmara and the northern Aegean coast.
North and northeast winds may reach speeds of 40 to 60 km/h, particularly around Çanakkale and nearby coastal areas. While no major disruption is expected, travelers using ferries or spending time along exposed coastlines should keep local weather updates in mind.
A Great Day for Most Visitors

Istanbul offers comfortable conditions for exploring the city, while Bodrum, Fethiye and Antalya can expect long hours of sunshine and ideal beach weather. Aside from a few localized thunderstorms in the Black Sea region and inland mountainous areas, most of the country will remain dry, hot and perfect for enjoying the height of the Turkish summer.
