Turkey weather: 2026 pastırma yazı forecast

Meteorological assessments for 2026 suggest that the “pastırma yazı” (Indian summer) in Turkey is expected to occur between October 25 and November 15. This phenomenon is characterized by a temporary rise in daytime temperatures and increased sunshine during the mid-to-late autumn period.

The warm spell is typically driven by high-pressure systems that reduce cloud cover and weaken winds. While specific dates vary annually based on atmospheric conditions, these warm periods generally last between three and seven days, though they can extend to about a week if high-pressure systems remain stable.

Because weather patterns are subject to change, exact start and end dates for 2026 will become clearer through short- and medium-term forecasts as the end of October approaches. The intensity and timing of the warmth may vary across different regions of the country.
