Turkey's sailing conditions are distinguished by the meltemi wind that blows in open waters from the NW to the WNW, but tracks the coastlines closer to the shore. In the summer season, the average wind speed is Force 2-4, but gusts can often hit above Force 6-7 in the high season. With even several days of light winds can be expected, the meltemi is less strong outside the season. The wind usually picks up early in the afternoon, which is perfect for anchoring, although the meltemi often goes during the night.
Between April and November, Turkey has a long sailing season. Around the Aegean area, temperatures in Turkey are around 86oF/30oC in summer and 77oF/25oC in spring and fall.
