Trabzon had 20 days with 20 mm of rain or more in 2025.
Istanbul: 5 days.
The highest of the 32 large cities in Turkey.
Trabzon's climate in the 2050s
2041-2060 compared with 1991-2020, moderate emissions
By the 2050s, Trabzon's climate will still be more like its own today than any other large city's. The nearest other is Split (Croatia).
+1.6°C
Mean temperature over the year
+2.2°C
Highest in the warmest month
+1.3°C
Lowest in the coldest month
-3%
Precipitation over the year
Under high emissions, no large city has such a climate today; the nearest is Split (Croatia).
Its own climate today is 2.3 σ away. How close the match is: 5.8 σ to the climate of Split today, where under 2 is close and over 4 is no match (Mahony et al. 2017). 3 of 3 climate model runs name the same city. Seasonal temperature and rain are compared, not extremes, city heat or the sea.
