19. MISCELLANEOUS

Istanbul is Turkey's most populous city as well as its cultural and financial hub. Located on
both sides of the Bosphorus narrow strait between the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea,
Istanbul bridges Asia and and Europe both physically and culturally. Istanbul's population is
estimated to be between 12 and 19 million people, making it also one of the largest cities in
Europe and the world.

Expanding the ancient Roman colony of Byzantium by the order of the Roman Emperor
Constantine the Great, the imperial city of Constantinople was for nearly a thousand years
the last remaining outpost of the Roman (later termed Eastern Roman or Byzantine) Empire.
It was finally conquered by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II on 29 May 1453, an event
sometimes used to mark the end of the Middle Ages. It was the nerve centre for military
campaigns that were to enlarge the Ottoman Empire dramatically. By the mid 1500s,
Istanbul, with a population of almost half a million, was a major cultural, political, and
commercial centre. Ottoman rule continued until it was defeated in WWI and Istanbul was
occupied by the allies. When the Republic of Turkey was born in 1923 after the War of
Independence, Kemal Atatürk moved its capital to the city of Ankara. However, Istanbul
has continued to expand dramatically; today its population is approximately 14 million
and increases at an estimated 400,000 immigrants per year. Industry has expanded even
as tourism has grown.

                                                                                                16
2 week Forecast

September is the end of summer and start of autumn in Istanbul. At the start of the month,
temperatures are still high, it's likely to be hot and dry. But by the end, temperatures have
fallen rapidly, rainfall averages have risen, and it will feel much cooler.

The average temperature in Istanbul in September is 21C, with highs of 25C. The highest
temperature ever recorded in the area at this time is 35C. Overnight, the temperature drops
to around 16C; the lowest temperature ever recorded in the area at this time is 7C, at the end
of the month, but for the most part it's unlikely to get that cold. It's still quite warm and
pleasant in Istanbul at this time, if temperatures aren't quite as scorching as in preceding
months, like August and July.
