2026-10-08 · Author: Grand Emlak

The firmest basis for planning life in Antalya is the long-term data of the meteorological service MGM; the table below uses MGM publications only.

Monthly climate table (MGM, 1930–2025)

The temperature, sunshine and rainfall columns are long-term means for the 1930–2025 measurement period from MGM's provincial statistics for Antalya; rainy-day counts are rounded to one decimal. The last column is not specific to Antalya: it is the monthly mean sea-water temperature for the whole Mediterranean coast published by MGM for 1970–2024.

All values in the table come from MGM's Antalya provincial statistics page and its Mediterranean sea-water temperature report; as MGM statistics are updated every year, values may shift slightly.
