| Hey guys! Hello! Welcome to www.turkishclass101.com |
| And Nasılsınız? Ben Seda. İyi misiniz? Her şey yolunda mı? Hazır mısınız? Are you ready? |
| Are you ready? |
| Okay, I hope everybody is well and this time today I will be talking about July in Turkey. |
| We already talked about June. Now it's time for July. |
| First of all, let's learn the word July. It is Temmuz. |
| Temmuz as a word may sound familiar to you especially if you are from the Middle Eastern area |
| of the world and according to the New World Encyclopedia, Babylonian and Assyrian god |
| Dumuzi was known by a variety of names throughout the Middle East including Hebrew Tammuz, |
| Arabic Tammuz, Akkadian Duzu and Sumerian Dumuzid. |
| Tammuz also known as Dumuzi was the name of an ancient Near Eastern deity god who was best known |
| for his patronage of herdsmen and his romantic partner entanglement with Inanna or Ishtar, |
| the Sumerian goddess. |
| So Turkish name for the month July is coming from this background Temmuz. |
| So what is really special going on about you know in Temmuz in Turkey? |
| And despite the you know rich history Temmuz is not a very active month in Turkey |
| so actually not much not much going on all the schools are closed a lot of people take their |
| holidays in Temmuz so it's a low slow business season and generally it's a very hot very relaxed |
| very chillax month and there's only one day of official vacation and it's due to the 15th of July |
| 2016 coup d'etat attempt it happened in Turkey in Turkish we call it 15 Temmuz darbe girişimi |
| and this was an attempt in Turkey against the state institutions including the government |
| and the president so it's a very complicated and a political matter and so I'm not gonna |
| go and dive into this subject if you are curious you can search for it and but just know that due |
| to this incident 15th of July is now an official holiday official remembrance day so schools and |
| all the public places are closed so I mean the businesses are closed that day and don't forget |
| I told this before in my June video some years Ramadan and sacrifice holidays can be in Temmuz |
| because of the religious holidays different calendar is followed the dates change every year |
| so it can be also in Temmuz and that's it for the special days of Temmuz we have no other of course |
| there are some days but we don't celebrate them it's like world's general days nobody knows about them |
| and let's talk about weather what do you think is it cold in Turkey in Temmuz |
| no no how is the weather in Temmuz I can say it's generally very hot but let's look at the stats |
| let's look at them a little bit closer okay see let's see Marmara region while the long-term |
| average temperature of the region is July is like 23.8 degrees in July 2021 it was 25.8 and the |
| lowest temperature was 12.5 in Lübügaz and highest was 4.3 in Ipsala so a big difference |
| and Aegean region while the long-term average temperature of the region in July is 26.0 and |
| in July 2001 it was 28.1 degrees and the lowest temperature in the region is 10 degrees |
| in Simav the highest temperature was determined as 43.5 in Ödemiş again it was a big difference |
| but don't forget these are not at the same times these are the lowest and the highest |
| and when you look at the Mediterranean region while the long-term average temperature of the |
| region in July was 26.7 it was 28.6 in July 2001 the lowest temperature in the region was 9.6 |
| in Göksun and the highest temperature was 44 degrees in Dalaman and when it comes to central |
| Anatolia region while the average temperature was like 22 degrees it was 23.7 in July 2001 |
| the lowest temperature is 6.6 in Kangal and Pınarbaşı and the highest temperature is 41.6 |
| and it was in Çankırı and Black Sea region while the long-term average temperature |
| of the region in July is 22.2 in July 2001 it was 24.2 the lowest temperature in the region |
| is 9.3 Kızılcahaman the highest was 42.4 and in Boyabat and eastern Anatolia region |
| while the average of the region July for many years was 22.9 it was 24.6 in July 2021 |
| as you can see the average is getting higher because of the global warming |
| and lowest in the region was like 6.6 in Ardahan and Sarız and the highest was |
| 42.4 in Elazığ and finally the southeastern Anatolia region while the long-term average |
| temperature of the region in July was 30.9 it was 32.5 in July 2021 and the lowest temperature |
| in the region was 5.2 in Batman you can call it Batman and the highest temperature was 49.1 in Cizre |
