Best time to visit Bursa
Turkey · 20-year averages
May is the best month in Bursa, scoring 86 out of 100, with January the weakest at 44. The 42-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 6 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.
August is the warmest month at 33.4 °C and January the coolest at 9.8 °C — a 23.6 °C spread across the year. Around 85 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in August and the months either side. 28 nights a year dip below freezing.
There is a real wet season here. January, February and December carry the rain — up to 13 wet days in a month — while July to August drop as low as 3. That 10-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Bursa, and it moves further than the temperature does.
Daylight runs from 9.3 hours in winter to 15 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.
The three strongest months are May, April, October. The one to think twice about is January. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
