Visitor Notes

Cappadocia Weather Guide

Cappadocia sits on a high plateau (~1000 m) with hot, dry summers and cold winters with occasional snow. Micro-climates vary between Göreme, Uçhisar, Çavuşin, Avanos and Ortahisar; winds are weaker on valley floors and stronger on open ridgelines.

By Season – Quick Look

  • Summer (Jun–Sep): 28–35 °C by day; low humidity, high UV. Evenings on valley floors can be 12–18 °C—layers are a good idea.
  • Spring (Mar–May): 12–25 °C; sudden gusts and short showers possible. Among the most popular periods for sunrise tours.
  • Autumn (Oct–Nov): 10–22 °C; many clear days, cool mornings. Superb light for photography.
  • Winter (Dec–Feb): 0–8 °C by day; nights often below zero. Snow and fog appear from time to time.

Balloon Flights & Wind

Balloon operations depend entirely on the weather. As a rule of thumb, surface wind ≤ 13 km/h and no precipitation are required. The final go/no-go decision is made by licensed pilots and local authorities. The “Balloon flight (forecast)” on this page is for guidance only; it is not binding and no liability is accepted.

When to Visit?

Cappadocia is a year-round destination; spring and autumn stand out for calmer winds and mild temperatures. Summer dawns are cool, while winter offers striking snowy scenes.

FAQ

Do balloons fly in winter?
