What is the weather and sea temperature like in Fethiye in late September and early October, and is swimming still possible?

In early October, the sea was reported as very warm and suitable for swimming before midday. However, rain was forecast for the following two to three days, so families with children should plan some non-beach activities as a backup.

In late September, conditions were described as excellent, with pleasant swimming water and small waves. There had been two stormy days, so calm sea conditions cannot be expected every day.

For a trip around 8–15 October, be prepared for cooler daytime weather, with forecasts showing highs of about 22°C. That does not necessarily mean cold sea water, as recent reports still described it as comfortable.
