Climate
Pendik experiences a Mediterranean climate (Csa/Cs) according to both Köppen and Trewartha climate classifications, with cool winters and warm to hot summers. A warm district, it is in USDA hardiness zone 9a and AHS heat zone 4, allowing the cultivation of certain cold-hardy subtropical plants.[5] While in southern Istanbul, it is still affected by Foehn winds, because of its position north of the highlands in Yalova.
