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 the centre, 13 km from the airport (ADB): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

February: quiet. Busiest from July to September; quietest from January to March.

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 İzmir: the apps, paying, getting around, tipping and the emergency numbers.
