Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at Selçuk, by the ruins: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

June: busier than usual. Busiest in May, July, August and September; quietest in January, February, April, November and December.

What to pack

  • Light, loose clothes: daily highs average 33°C.
  • Plan the middle of the day indoors: 11 days a month pass 35°C.
  • Sun protection: about 14 hours of sunshine a day.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.

Before you go

Type C and F plugs at 230 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Turkish lira. UK Foreign Office: avoid all travel to parts. Everything for Turkey: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

On arrival in Ephesus: the apps, paying, getting around, tipping and the emergency numbers.
