Kayseri's Climate
Kayseri sits on the central Anatolian plateau in central Turkey at about 1,050 m, below the volcanic peak of Mount Erciyes, giving it a cold semi-arid climate with a wide temperature range. Summers (June–September) are hot and very dry, usually 28–33°C by day but cooling noticeably at night thanks to the altitude, while winters (December–February) are bitterly cold, with the coldest days below −5°C and regular frost and snowfall. In between, spring and autumn are short, mild and pleasant, and they also bring most of the year's rainfall.
