Arnavutköy Weather in March

About Arnavutköy in March

Arnavutköy's exposed promontory jutting into the narrowing Bosphorus makes it one of Istanbul's most wind-battered neighborhoods, with the poyraz accelerating through the strait constriction to create wind-chill effects 5–7°C below measured temperatures in winter. The colorful wooden Ottoman waterfront houses face directly into the strait current, and their lack of insulation makes them especially vulnerable to the damp maritime cold that characterizes Bosphorus winters.
