Temperature

These maps show the model-estimated mean annual temperature distribution in Turkey for three different periods, 1961-1990, 2041-2070, and 2071-2099. In Turkey, the temperatures range from about 18°C in the southern coastal areas to below 4°C in much of the eastern high plateau. As the comparison with the observed temperature shows, the simulated1961-1990 temperature is rather accurate.

Comparison of future maps with the 1961-1990 map indicates that the temperature will increase all over Turkey. The increases can be observed more clearly in the change maps of (1961-1990) - (2041-2070), and
(1961-1990) - (2071-2099).
