Meteorological service warns of unusually high temperatures in the Antalya region
The Turkish Meteorological Institute, Meteoroloji, has issued a warning stating that temperatures across the country will exceed seasonal normal values.
Specifically for Antalya, the thermometer is expected to reach up to 34 degrees Celsius, which is a significant development for tourists, foreign residents, and anyone planning to visit the Alanya and Antalya regions.
This weather forecast, dated Monday, 20 July 2026, indicates a period of intense heat that will impact daily life and travel plans. The forecast temperatures of 34 degrees in Antalya are noticeably higher than what is normally expected during this period.
For visitors from Nordic countries and elsewhere, as well as for permanent residents in areas such as Alanya, this means being prepared for a significantly hotter daily life than usual.
The unusual heat will require adjustments to ensure comfort and safety throughout the region. Such temperatures have a direct impact on the holiday experience.
Activities such as sightseeing, beach visits, and outdoor events may become more challenging or require different planning.
Tourists travelling to Alanya and Antalya should consider adapting their daily schedules to avoid the strongest midday heat, perhaps by prioritising indoor activities or scheduling outings for early mornings and late afternoons. For those living permanently in the region, or planning longer stays, the persistent heat will also require extra consideration in everyday life.
This applies to everything from energy consumption for cooling homes, to the planning of outdoor work and leisure activities.
The regional heat in Antalya will also affect nearby areas, although specific figures were not provided for Alanya. Meteoroloji is also warning of even higher temperatures elsewhere in the country, with Denizli expected to reach a full 40 degrees.
Although these specific figures do not apply directly to the coastal areas, it underscores the importance of taking the weather forecast seriously throughout the entire southern region.
This warning means that everyone staying in, or intending to travel to, the Antalya and Alanya regions should be aware of the high temperatures.
It is essential to take precautions to manage the heat, which can affect the comfort and planning of your trip or stay in the area. Source: Yenialanya
