Sunny Monday Morning

Sunshine at blue sky with temperature only 5 Degree.
Since yesterday and 2 days ago, the temperature was very low. It was even freezes around Alanya. Many greenhouse owners are awake (in the night) in the greenhouse in front of the heater to ensure the temperature of the greenhouse remains hot so that the plants did not freeze.

In other cities in Turkey it was heavy snow. This is what makes the temperature colder in Alanya.

Winter is Still Here

Spring greeted by sad face of the sky.

The wind rages joking with the sky.

Black clouds pour out His gifts, bedabble the earth.

I think, cold is not going to go from the northern globe.

Winter is still here

Alanya, Sunday noon

2nd snow for me in Alanya

In the morning was raining for few minutes. I saw something white but I did not realize if those were snow, because it was hail in the same time. My husband called me from shop, he asking whether there is snowfall on the Kuturup hill (the place where we live). I said that no snowfall here.

In the noon, here is raining again. It is suprising......SNOWING. I think the white that I saw in the morning was SNOW.

It is my second snow, as the first snow was in 2008.

It means that the weather forecast of February 19, 2008 was wrong because they said that SNOW would rain in Alanya again about 15-16 years later.


The winter of 2012 is closed by the SNOW :)

where the sun smile

Alanya has a relatively moderate continental Mediterranean climate. The Mediterranean Basin ensures that most rain comes during the winter, leaving the summers long, hot, and dry. Alanya is home to an enviable 310 to 320 days of glorious sunshine per year, prompting the Alanya board of Tourism to use the slogan "where the sun smiles".
