Comprehensive Climate Chart of Ankara, Türkiye: Monthly Averages and Weather Trends
For Ankara, Türkiye, the climate data cover 2013–2023.
Monthly mean temperatures peak at August with 25.0 °C, while the coolest monthly mean is January at 1.1 °C. These describe month-level averages, not daytime highs, so they do not indicate the full range visitors may experience within a day. The unweighted mean of the monthly temperature means is 12.9 °C; it summarizes the calendar-month averages rather than giving a day-weighted annual figure.
Climate overview
Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly average in May at 1.75 mm/day, and its lowest in July at 0.21 mm/day. These are daily averages, not monthly rainfall totals, and neither value tells how often rain occurs or guarantees the conditions on a particular day. The unweighted mean across the monthly daily-rainfall averages is 1.00 mm/day, a broad summary that should not be read as a day-weighted annual average.
Average daily sunshine is highest in July at 13.50 hours/day and lowest in January at 6.43 hours/day. These figures describe mean sunshine duration, not day length, and actual conditions can vary from day to day.
Mean daily snowfall is highest in January at 4.65 mm/day. This is a daily mean rather than a monthly total, so it does not establish how much snow will fall on any individual day.
Best Travel Time Guide for Ankara, Türkiye: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
If lower average rainfall is your priority, July is the conditional option indicated by the lowest monthly mean daily rainfall of 0.21 mm/day. That average does not guarantee dry days or show how frequently rain occurs, so keep plans flexible and bring rain protection when useful. For rain preparation, note that the highest monthly mean daily rainfall occurs in May at 1.75 mm/day. The figure is not a monthly total or a forecast for your travel dates, so it supports preparation rather than a promise of wet weather.
Visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages can consider January, when the monthly mean temperature is 1.1 °C; this does not describe daytime highs or the range within a day, so pack for variable conditions. For daylight outdoor planning, mean daily sunshine is highest in July at 13.50 hours/day, while the lowest mean is in January at 6.43 hours/day. Sunshine duration is not day length and does not ensure clear skies on a particular date, so treat these as planning context rather than a combined best-time ranking.
