Fellow campers --- Hi de Hi!
We usualy visit in early Septemeber but a dear friend is looking at going in May and we were thinking of accompanying her. It would mean arriving some time after 20th May.
I have no idea what the weather is like then and have learned that all the information sites of course have vestyed interests so you can never belive them! I am just conerned it wont be that warm, especially in the evenings, and that the Sea may be a bit chilly? Alternative is after 7th June when i belive it will be much warmer but she may not be able to get away then.
So, I thought, ask the good people of CBF!

What vested interest would this site have

We have been many times at the end of May.
Daytime is usually high 20's in the shade. Plenty of sun and much hotter obviously in the sun, and warm in evenings. A cardy is a possibility if you feel the cold.
Bit chilly in the sea and pools will be freezing IMHO.
-
Weather is not unlike that of September John.
Nice enough to have a day on the beach or by the pool but a cardi for the evenings when it gets cooler
-
Always go the end of May and the beginning of June, lovely time to be there, long light nights and lovely flowers growing. We never find it cold, we are in the pool every day. Took cardi's last year and never used them. Also the 3C's will be having events at the end of May including the Charity Auction, which is a great night out, as I recall at last year's Auction we sat at the Bambu until midnight and it was still lovely and warm. ;D ;)

Thank you so much Jacqui for a very informative and balanced view from personal experience! Much better than a satistical cold analysis as referred to in Wikipedia! :)

I wouldn't classify an average high of nearly 80 cold but there you go. ;)
The reason I posted it johntaylor49 was that I was confident that people would say more or less what the chart says
-
We have been going to Calis the last week in May for the past few years - we have found it a bit chilly at night and a bit rainy as well, but on the whole the days were just a nice heat. We certainly needed a cardi at night and will be taking one again this year as we are over at the end of May.
-
Thanks to all, will see if she can go later!
Sounds a bit like Spain in May, can be hot, can be cool, can rain, and the Sea ----cold! It was the Water temperature particularly as didnt fancy going in and coming out of a cold sea with the brisk breezes at Patara or elsewhere where it is not as sheltered as Calis.

No guarantee is given nor implied that this year will be anything like last

Read through the posts, wander around various websites until you find the one you like the sound of and go with that......that's what I do when we have been away in jan/Feb to Canaries - absolute consistency over 10 years............always get it wrong!
-
It's great to get some sun when you're on holiday BUT there is so much more to a holiday than that. Warm friendly people, lovely food, gorgeous scenery, making new friends, exploring, relaxing and just getting away from your day to day life. I hope the weather is good for you but no matter what, Calis is just gorgeous.

End of May beginning of June is a lovely time everything is fresh and new and I can pick the mulberries from my tree in the garden.
Last May we went up to Oludeniz to speak to someone about my son's wedding. We were at Sugar Beach everyone was in the water, we were sitting at the bar melting in the heat. I enclose two pictures of our garden in Calis first one last May second one May 2011 :D

Been in May for last 4 years and ground the weather perfect. Never felt cold in the evenings or worn a jacket. Perfect for us.
-
If you are intending to swim in the sea around the 20th of May, put a note in your diary for 20th June. This is the earliest date you will see your testicles again.

A bit like the wikiepedia cold statistics in fact toky

Lovely pool Jacqui! Can we stay at yours?
Seriously, we've been going in May for about 14 years and it's always been lovely. So is Sept/Oct. Sometimes there ade glorious thunder storms, but beautiful to watch and then out comes the sun again. I find May the most comfortable and pretty month to be there. Plenty if pashminas on loan in many restaurants should the night turn chilly.

You are quite right that there is so much in Calis or any holiday really but somehow, for me anyway, having the sunshine makes everything so much more enjoyable. I will always chase the sun for my well-earned hols and I feel so disappointed if the weather is poor - like I've missed out.

Never been on the beach at Calis, prefer to sit at the pool more private and handy for everthing. So no worries there, however, cannot think of a better day than the 20th June (my birthday) for testicles to descend again ;D ;)
-
Well that's one way to mark the occasion Jacqui ;D

I'm so glad the lovely Hyacinth is not around for this one!!

Mrs B would think it was a load of b*lls ;D ;)

Good grief - Mrs H Bouquet is in danger of casting a longer shadow than Mrs T ;)

We went in the sea on New Years Day. THAT was a tad chilly... Like Jackie says... The 3 cs are having their Spring fair on the 26th..Chill out beach barbeque on the 21st May...lots going on the last week in May...Its unusual to have rain in May. It was an exeption last year. We even had a shower in August last year... Chilly??? Have you been to Yorkshire in May....?
-
Yes!! ;)
And that's why we're coming to Calis next month! Sea still a bit chilly for me though :o
-
we went last week of May/ first week of June last year,and I did need my jacket in the evenings. we won't be doing that again!
-
Angela, we have been coming last week in May first two in June for 8 years now and would not consider changing. Love that time of year and love the 3C's events particularly the Auction, could not miss that for the world.
-
Jacquie, we loved the daytime temperatures because we are keen walkers, and seeing everything with still a hint of spring green around was gorgeous, but I was just a tad too cool in the evenings. My other half would disagree completely (and probably will when he reads this) ;)

Its the Pookie's wedding anniversary on 20th June........ ;)
Love May - its our favorite time of year, but can confirm, there is no pool dipping in uzumlu in May......mr Pookie found out the hard way :)
-
Think it is a lot cooler up in Uzumlu than down in Calis Pookie, next time you will have to come for a dip in our pool. ;) Seems the 20th June is a good time for lots of events.. Also was Errol Flynn's birthday (useless bit of knowledge) : :)
