Weather

If you’re joining us in Istanbul for the Bosphorus Swing Festival, March 26–29, 2026, you may be wondering what kind of weather to expect.

Late March in Istanbul usually brings mild spring weather. Daytime temperatures often range between 12–18 °C, while evenings can drop to around 6–12 °C. Rain showers are possible, but sunny and pleasant days are just as common.

Our tip: bring layers! A light jacket or cardigan for the daytime, and something warmer for evenings when heading to parties will keep you comfortable. An umbrella or a raincoat can also come in handy.

So while the music heats up the dance floor, you’ll be ready for whatever Istanbul’s spring skies bring.
