Turkey (Anatolia) has seven distinct geographic and climatic regions.  These seven regions are Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean, Central Anatolia, Black Sea, Eastern Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia with each region having different types of weather during the same time of the year.  In the spring you can bask in the sun while at the Mediterranean Sea and travel to the lofty mountains where people are skiing,(Climate of Turkey) the Black Sea region glistens under spring rains while Southeastern Anatolia still sleeps under a blanket of snow.(Brosnahan)

The Mediterranean region is like other dry summer subtropical climates such as southern California, Cape Town area of South Africa, central Chile, and southwestern Australia.  The largest area of these dry summer subtropical climates is the border lands of the Mediterranean.  Both the Mediterranean and the Aegean coast have cool, rainy winters and hot dry summers.  The Black Sea coast receiving the greatest amount of rain fall.(Geography of Turkey)

The irregular topography of Turkey is the reason why the regions are so diverse.  The Taurus Mountains are close to the coast which keeps most of the rain on the coastal side.  Central Anatolia receives no significant rainfall.  Eastern Anatolia mountain regions have elevations exceeding 2500m-3000m which have long cold winters.  That snow may stay on the ground 120 days.(Geography of Turkey)
