Sunbed/Direct Sun Temp: 46.4c

Clear blue sky, very warm and sunny. Gentle breeze. Same cycle of calm early to mid morning then a gradual build up of the wind until late afternoon when it is quite strong and then dies off around 9pm.

No good for fishing as the wind makes the sea too choppy.

Apologies for no reports recently - no internet access. I was swapping service provider with only a 2 hour period of loss of service promised - 2 days later......... hey ho Turkey eh!

John, risked the wrath of choppy seas yesterday and was rewarded with 2 very nice barracuda or at least the wife was! Using my nice new lure, trolling.

Paul I think its time you gave me a call and I came fishing with you

I still haven't caught a fish this year

Surely you know that taking it into the shower with you will get inaccurate results

9am Icmeler 12th July

Clear blue skies and getting very hot now

The breeze we had the last few days seems to have dissapeared so making it feel even hotter

36 degrees on the back balcony and 50 degrees on the front

The digital weather station I waited patiently from the UK is definitely going back as 5 minutes ago it said rain and now after a reset it says cloud so a total waste of money

Blue skies and a very slight breeze will make today even hotter than yesterday

35 on the back balcony and 47 on the front one

I'm off to meet up Big Paul over at Hisaronu for a few hours fishing on his boat so hopefully today will be the day I get my first lure caught fish this year

I'm kinda glad I decided to go in September, these temperatures are a bit too high for my liking. Hopefully should still be warm enough for when I go on 3rd -17th Sept.

Good luck with the fishing John

Late one because I'm just back from fishing with John. Very, very hot all day. Thankfully there is a sun shade canopy on the boat so we are not too frazzled.

But more importantly, did you both catch anything?

14th July 10am Icmeler

Its looking to start out with a heat haze here in Icmeler and Marmaris today but no doubt the sun will clear that away later

I met up with Big Paul yesterday from Hisaronu and we went out for 6 hours non stop fishing on his boat and between us caught 1 and a half plastic bags, a couple of hook fulls of weed, a large rock which Paul had to jump in and free the hooks from and at last a small grouper which attacked the lure with its backside but it was pulled in then put straight back

I had a great day chatting to Paul about our love for Turkey and the area we both lived in, spoke a lot about the ruins and ancient civilizations that were there before us and generally had a great day

Looking forward to doing it again on "my" side of the mountains where we know fish live so we will leave that one for the winter time

Ok hi everyone, looking to rekindle my love of Turkey. I've managed to get some time off in October, we are tied to a summer closure of 3 weeks in August.
Having had a couple of years away from Turkey and trying out Spain and the canaries i'm now ready to revisit between the 7th and the 17th of October. Can anybody tell me what the weather is like generally between these dates? As stated in previous paragraph, i've only ever been in August; 6 times actually to good old Marmaris. I've been looking at both AI and self catering and can't quite make my mind up although i do like the reviews on Club Alize (not AI till next year) and Club turqouise. I had planned to visit Egypt but finding the prices are rocketing, whereas Turkey with some of the bigger names are actually cheaper than what i used to pay for flights lol... Any help would be appreciated usual, Efes prices in Marmaris etc, how much will be still open in Octobeer sorry October but that actually looks better lol.
Thanks in anticipation.. Rob

I have been the to Icmeler in October for the last few years.
Last year we went the first 2 weeks and did have rain for a few days at the end of the holiday.
Previous years we have only the odd shower at night despite going at the end of the month.
It was still hot enough to sunbathe and plenty of people were swimming in the sea.
Last year a few restaurants were closing when we were there which seemed earlier than previous years so I dont know if this was because of the weather.
I have read that this year that the resorts are quieter than previous years so if this is the case maybe more places will close earlier.
We havent booked anywhere this year but I would have no hesitation in returning in October.

I have been in October many times and the weather has usually been lovely, certanly hot enough to sit on the beach and to swim. Maybe the odd shower but it passes quickly and the evenings are cooler.

We are going in October this year.
