I'm due at Lara Beach on Thu 14th April for a week, weather looks decidedly dodgy of late in that region, anyone know if it's due to pick up by then? :que

Thanks Jak & Paul for taking the time to do this - hope it picks up a bit soon! x

Hisaronu Koyu near Marmaris

12.45pm local time

Air Temp: 18c
Sunbed Temp: 27c

Light cloud and sunny. Strong breeze keeping it feeling cool.

April time for holidays can be a bit hit or miss but at least everything is fresh and green and not brown, dry, dusty and tired like in August!
Instead of trying to sun bathe why not get out and about and discover some of the sights and places outside of the tourist resorts. Rent a car and go for it!

Haven't got myself set up with a thermometer but today in Gumbet was lovely - strappy t-shirt weather (for the girls that is LOL). It's sunbathing weather - and will get hotter as the days go by!

Hopefully will be able to update more regularly now as managed to get internet access at the house - only a weak signal but it works!

Paul, you posted on 8th April:

Air Temp: 17.5c
Sunbed Temp: 42.3c

Is this a mistake or is the sunbed temp really hitting the low 40's already?

It was nearly that in my garden over the weekend! It's the air temperature that is the real temperature. Readings in direct sunlight can be misleading although you'll soon bake in that heat!

Darren is correct. The sunbed temperature is taken in direct sun which is not the accurate way to measure the real temperature but it shows what you are exposed to if you are out walking, sitting or sunbathing.
Best so far was just over 45c a few days ago.
The high temperatures are only brief at the moment around 2 - 3pm each afternoon but soon they will be staying up there for longer and reaching them quicker!

Clear, blue sky and sunny. Gusty N wind making it a little chilly in the wind.

Same as for Gumbet - sunny and bright but a little chilly in the breeze. Went into Bodrum and actually wore a cardigan while walking round.
