===Climate=== Trabzon has a climate typical of the eastern Black Sea region, a [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Cfa,'' [[Trewartha climate classification|Trewartha]]'': Cf'') near the coast.<ref>{{cite journal |first1=M. C. |last1=Peel |first2=B. L. |last2=Finlayson |first3=T. A. |last3=McMahon |title=Updated world map of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification |journal=Hydrology and Earth System Sciences |year=2007 |volume=4 |pages=439–473 |doi=10.5194/hessd-4-439-2007 |issue=2|bibcode=2007HESSD...4..439P |url=https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00298818/file/hessd-4-439-2007.pdf|doi-access=free}}</ref> A very small percentage of the province can be classified as subtropical, however, as slightly elevated rural areas near the coast are [[oceanic climate|oceanic]] (''Cfb/Do''), the mountainous offshores are [[humid continental climate|humid continental]] (''Dfb/Dc'') and [[subarctic climate|subarctic]] (''Dfc/Eo''); and [[tundra]] (''ET/Ft'') can be found in the peaks of the Pontic Alps. Furthermore, during the time the [[Köppen climate classification]] was created, the city center had a borderline oceanic-humid subtropical climate, falling just under the {{convert|22|C|F|0}} threshold for the hottest month of the year, yet [[climate change]] and the city's [[urban heat island]] contributed to its reclassification as humid subtropical in recent decades. This and the fact that the subtropical microclimate zone along the shore occupies a very narrow band due to the continuous parallel mountain range starting right at the coast is why local authorities still classify the city as oceanic, as this climate subtype is better representative of the entire coastal region of the province.<ref>{{Cite web|date=27 May 2021|title=Türkiye İklimi|url=https://www.mgm.gov.tr/iklim/iklim.aspx?key=C|website=Meteoroloji Genel Müdürlüğü}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=File:Koppen-Geiger Map TUR present.svg - Wikipedia|url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Koppen-Geiger_Map_TUR_present.svg|access-date=2020-11-07|website=commons.wikimedia.org| date=6 November 2018 |language=en}}</ref> Summers are warm, the average maximum temperature is around {{convert|28|°C|0}} in August, while winters are generally cool, the lowest average minimum temperature is almost {{convert|5|°C}} in February. Precipitation is heaviest in autumn and winter, with a marked reduction in the summer months, a [[microclimate|microclimatic]] condition of the city center compared to the rest of the region.<ref>{{Cite web|date=27 May 2021|title=Meteorolojik Parametrelerin Türkiye'de Analizi|url=https://www.mgm.gov.tr/veridegerlendirme/il-ve-ilceler-istatistik.aspx?k=parametrelerinTurkiyeAnalizi|website=Meteoroloji Genel Müdürlüğü}}</ref> Snowfall is somewhat common between the months of December and March, snowing for a week or two, and it can be heavy once it snows (this is due to the "[[lake-effect snow]]"). The water temperature, like in the rest of the Black Sea coast of Turkey, is generally mild, and fluctuates between {{convert|8|°C|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|20|°C|0|abbr=on}} throughout the year. {{Weather box |metric first= Yes |single line= Yes |location= Trabzon (1991–2020, extremes 1927–2023) |Jan record high C = 27.0 |Feb record high C = 30.1 |Mar record high C = 35.2 |Apr record high C = 37.6 |May record high C = 38.2 |Jun record high C = 36.7 |Jul record high C = 37.0 |Aug record high C = 38.2 |Sep record high C = 37.9 |Oct record high C = 33.8 |Nov record high C = 32.8 |Dec record high C = 26.4 |year record high C = 38.2 |Jan high C = 11.3 |Feb high C = 11.4 |Mar high C = 13.0 |Apr high C = 16.3 |May high C = 20.0 |Jun high C = 24.5 |Jul high C = 27.5 |Aug high C = 28.1 |Sep high C = 25.1 |Oct high C = 21.0 |Nov high C = 16.5 |Dec high C = 13.1 |year high C = 19.0 |Jan mean C = 7.7 |Feb mean C = 7.5 |Mar mean C = 9.2 |Apr mean C = 12.2 |May mean C = 16.4 |Jun mean C = 20.9 |Jul mean C = 23.8 |Aug mean C = 24.4 |Sep mean C = 21.1 |Oct mean C = 17.2 |Nov mean C = 12.7 |Dec mean C = 9.5 |year mean C = 15.2 |Jan low C = 5.0 |Feb low C = 4.6 |Mar low C = 6.2 |Apr low C = 9.0 |May low C = 13.4 |Jun low C = 17.6 |Jul low C = 20.6 |Aug low C = 21.2 |Sep low C = 17.8 |Oct low C = 14.1 |Nov low C = 9.6 |Dec low C = 6.8 |year low C = 12.2 |Jan record low C = -7.0 |Feb record low C = -7.4 |Mar record low C = -5.8 |Apr record low C = -2.0 |May record low C = 4.2 |Jun record low C = 9.2 |Jul record low C = 11.0 |Aug record low C = 13.5 |Sep record low C = 7.3 |Oct record low C = 3.4 |Nov record low C = -1.6 |Dec record low C = -3.3 |year record low C = -7.4 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 88.8 |Feb precipitation mm = 63.1 |Mar precipitation mm = 69.3 |Apr precipitation mm = 62.8 |May precipitation mm = 55.5 |Jun precipitation mm = 52.3 |Jul precipitation mm = 34.7 |Aug precipitation mm = 59.4 |Sep precipitation mm = 85.4 |Oct precipitation mm = 134.1 |Nov precipitation mm = 103.2 |Dec precipitation mm = 93.5 |year precipitation mm = 902.1 |Jan precipitation days = 13.32 |Feb precipitation days = 11.91 |Mar precipitation days = 14.18 |Apr precipitation days = 14.09 |May precipitation days = 13.32 |Jun precipitation days = 11.73 |Jul precipitation days = 7.86 |Aug precipitation days = 9.91 |Sep precipitation days = 11.09 |Oct precipitation days = 13.36 |Nov precipitation days = 11.68 |Dec precipitation days = 13.05 |year precipitation days = |Jan humidity = 69 |Feb humidity = 69 |Mar humidity = 73 |Apr humidity = 75 |May humidity = 77 |Jun humidity = 75 |Jul humidity = 73 |Aug humidity = 73 |Sep humidity = 74 |Oct humidity = 73 |Nov humidity = 70 |Dec humidity = 68 |Jan sun = 71.3 |Feb sun = 84.8 |Mar sun = 99.2 |Apr sun = 135.0 |May sun = 170.5 |Jun sun = 192.0 |Jul sun = 176.7 |Aug sun = 151.9 |Sep sun = 147.0 |Oct sun = 127.1 |Nov sun = 105.0 |Dec sun = 65.1 |Jand sun = 2.3 |Febd sun = 3.0 |Mard sun = 3.2 |Aprd sun = 4.5 |Mayd sun = 5.5 |Jund sun = 6.4 |Juld sun = 5.7 |Augd sun = 4.9 |Sepd sun = 4.9 |Octd sun = 4.1 |Novd sun = 3.5 |Decd sun = 2.1 |yeard sun = |source 1 = [[Turkish State Meteorological Service]]<ref name = TSMS>{{cite web | url = https://www.mgm.gov.tr/veridegerlendirme/il-ve-ilceler-istatistik.aspx?k=H&m=TRABZON | title = Resmi İstatistikler: İllerimize Ait Genel İstatistik Verileri | publisher = Turkish State Meteorological Service | language = tr | access-date = 26 June 2021}}</ref> |source 2= Weatherbase<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weatherall.php3?s=83071&refer=&units=us&cityname=Trabzon-Turkey|title=Trabzon, Turkey Travel Weather Averages (Weatherbase)|website=Weatherbase|access-date=14 January 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://ogimet.com/cgi-bin/gsynres?ind=17038&ano=2021&mes=1&day=13&hora=0&min=0&ndays=30 |title= 17038: Trabzon (Turkey) |publisher=OGIMET |access-date=14 January 2021 |date=13 January 2021}}</ref> |date=September 2016 }}
