     For the most part, the places where the Kurds live in Turkey are very mountainous. There are also a lot of rivers, which the Kurds seem to take advantage of. I speak in my others blogs about how they are very into farming and how they have a very agricultural economy. It is an extremely rural area. The temperatures seem to fluctuate. So in the summer, it gets extremely hot; and in the winter it can also get extremely cold.The summers get very try, and the winters are wet.When snow does happen to come down, it does not stay any longer than only a few days.
    Specifically, where the Kurds are in the mountains, the weather gets a lot more severe. The snow can stay on the ground a lot longer and that obviously effects them when it comes to their way of living, farming. Temperatures have dropped as low as -30 to -40 degrees Celsius. As you can imagine, the summers are the complete opposite. May is usually the driest month, whereas July and August are the wettest of the months.
