The Sultans Trail from Sofia to Istanbul features diverse weather conditions influenced by the time of year and geographical transitions. Starting in Sofia, Bulgaria, the weather in February typically includes cold temperatures with average highs around 5°C and lows dipping to -4°C. Expect frequent cloudy, overcast, and snowy days with occasional sunny spells and light freezing rain. Precipitation can vary, sometimes reaching up to 4.6 mm daily.

As you progress into the more temperate regions of northwestern Turkey, the climate gradually becomes milder. Highs generally range from 10°C to 13°C and lows around 1°C to 4°C. Overcast skies, patchy rain, and occasional moderate to heavy rain showers are common. There can still be periods of sunshine, despite an overall higher likelihood of precipitation. The transition from winter to early spring marks increasing temperatures as you approach Istanbul, with conditions tending to be less harsh and more forgiving for travelers.

This overview is for an early February start, walking the standard stages.
But, I'll be happy to make one specifically for this forecast.
