Fethiye Weather - Baltic Temperatures

So far this winter, we've been enjoying warm Fethiye sunshine, unseasonably high temperatures and mild evenings. However, rumours were rife from the beginning of November that Fethiye was in for a cold winter (by Fethiye's standards) and last week, weather presenters broke the news that Baltic temperatures were being pushed towards Turkey.



Yesterday and through the previous night, thunder rolled and cracked right above us, lightening shot across the sky constantly and the rain pelted. This morning, we woke up and opened the curtains and it was that tell tale clarity to the mountain scenery, the sea was grey, the sky was filled with erupting white cloud. It was cold! We could see a couple of tankers sheltering in the bay and after a storm, there's only one thing to do; take a walk along the beach and watch the sea.

Rolling waves hit Çalış Beach

We were wrapped up in hat and scarf today and it was still cold. The waves along Çalış Beach were rolling in and crashing along the shore and as you can see, the sky has remained angry for most of the day.

In fact, the sky and sea have been amazing to watch today - no doubt helped along by the Baltic storms and temperatures. Whether this is just a cold snap or if this is it for the rest of winter, we don't know. For now, it's all fantastic, powerful scenery and we'll make the most of it while it lasts.
