I know the island is desperate for water - but the BBC weather forecasts appear to show heavy rain for the next week whilst others show dry & the odd shower.



We are out this Friday and wondered if anyone out there could confirm what the weather is actually doing please?



Many thanks

Stuart....take some of the sites (BBC weather, Accuweather etc) with a pinch of salt!!



3 sites I looked at this morning predicted thunderstorms/heavy rain and we had planned a day out!

Looked out the window here in Karsiyaka and a couple of ominous looking clouds....but we decided to go out anyway.



No a drop of rain let alone a thunderstorm.

Beautiful sunny day, warm and a slight breeze.



Enjoy your trip.

This morning between 7am & 8am Tatlisu & Esentepe areas had a massive thunderstorm. I'm told that Tatlisu had very heavy rain and at Esentepe we had a decent shower. By 9am it was all clear and it turned into a beautiful day. Rest of this week's forecast is local showers and thunderstorms, hopefully all overnight!

Daytime probably in 30s but after sun goes down it gets cool fast, bring a jumper for night time. Still warm enough to swim in sea but swimming pools are not so warm now. Sorry can't be more specific.

At Tatlisu yesterday we were woken by hailstones, very stong wind & rain. It lasted about an hour. The hail made holes in a plastic patio table & chair, knocked paint & render off walls & broke 50 pieces off the plastic gutter cover round our pool!!!



But by 9am the sun was out again.
