What's the temperature like in Turkey during April?
The temperature reaches around 16℃ during the daytime in April, falling away to 6℃ at night. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.
Does it snow in Turkey during April?
Possibly. There's a chance of snow during April but not as much as you might think. Check the local forecast before you leave home so that you can pack appropriate footwear and clothing.
Does it rain in Turkey during April?
On average, there will be 6 rainy days during the month, amounting to 68.3mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Turkey during April?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in April. With moderate humidity, the wind will feel chilly, so you'll want to wear layers.
