Fethiye usual summer temperatures

[casacluggo]

Having spent 2 weeks in Fethiye last May, I was told by a lovely old ex pat bar owner called Joyce  on the seafront, that living in fethiye is lovely but for the fact that for 2-3 months in  summer the heat is constantly over 50c. Is it really that hot for that length of time ?
Would love to live there but that would put me off.

Before being bombarded with "official temperature is measured in the shade at a height of 1m ( I may be wrong about 1m)" have a look at the official government site and you will see the recorded results are lower  than DIY measurements.

It is often over 50 deg but that is in full sun.

You can get temp over 50c  thats in full sun normall shade tem about about 33c on ave ,maybe twice this year it has been over 50 c

And there ıs not a lot of shade. The high temps are all day , the humidity is very high and even at night the temps don't go down much.

Temps in July/Aug range from hot to Bloo dy hot!!but its the nights as Quackers says is the worst.Even with fans a/c etc trying to sleep is a problem and then the following day tiredness hits you. For us these months are a no;no.

It's not just the heat, it's the humidity that gets to you. When you walk outside it's like being wrapped in a hot, damp blanket. Our electric bills are higher in July/August to keep cool than in winter to keep warm.

Stick a thermometer outside in full sun any day of the year and it will peak at near 50 deg C.
Think about it - thats how solar water panels still work in the winter.

I can cope during the day in July/August but can't bear the heat in the evenings/night.

Yes I was the same, I'd have gladly added another 5 degrees to the already punishing day temperature in return for just 5 degrees less at night.
