title="Climate of Istanbul">terminology used to classify the city's climate</a>, however. The city's summers are warm to hot and moderately dry, with an average daytime temperature of about 28 °C (82 °F), and less than 7 days of precipitation per month. Despite the generally acceptable temperature range, mid-summer in Istanbul is considered moderately uncomfortable, due to high dew points and relative humidity.<a href="#cite_note-:3-110">[105]</a> Winters, meanwhile, are cool, quite rainy, and relatively snow-rich for a city with above-freezing average temperatures. Istanbul's precipitation is unevenly distributed, with winter months getting at least twice the level of precipitation of their summerly counterparts. The mode of precipitation also varies by season. Winter precipitation is generally light, persistent and often of mixed precipitation such as <a href="/wiki/Rain_and_snow_mixed" title="Rain and snow mixed">rain-snow mixes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Graupel" title="Graupel">graupel</a>; while summer precipitation is generally abrupt and sporadic. Cloudiness, as with precipitation, varies greatly by season. Winters are quite cloudy, with around 20 percent of days being sunny or partly cloudy. Meanwhile, summers experience 60-70 percent of possible sunshine. Snowfall is sporadic, but accumulates virtually every winter; and when it does, it is highly disruptive to city infrastructure. <a href="/wiki/Lake-effect_snow" title="Lake-effect snow">Sea-effect snowstorms</a> with more than 30 centimetres (1 ft) of snowfall happen almost annually, most recently in <a href="/wiki/Storm_Elpis" title="Storm Elpis">2022</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:10-111">[106]</a><a href="#cite_note-112">[107]</a><div> <table class="wikitable mw-collapsible" style="width:auto;

The ranges of values between 500 and 1000 are due to <a href="#CITEREFMorris2010">Morris 2010</a>, which also does a comprehensive analysis of sources, including Chandler (1987); Morris notes that many of Chandler's estimates during that time seem too large for the city's size, and presents smaller estimates. Chandler disagrees with <a href="#CITEREFTuran2010">Turan 2010</a> on the population of the city in the mid-1920s (with the former suggesting 817,000 in 1925), but Turan, p. 224, is used as the source of population figures between 1924 and 2005.

Retrieved 11 October 2015. <q>The Septemvriana satisfies the criteria of article 2 of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (UNCG) because the intent to destroy in whole or in part the Greek minority in Istanbul was demonstrably present, the pogrom having been orchestrated by the government of Turkish Prime Minister Adnan Menderes. Even if the number of deaths (estimated at thirty-seven) among members of the Greek community was relatively low, the result of the pogrom was the flight and emigration of the Greek minority of Istanbul, which once numbered some 100,000 and was subsequently reduced to a few thousand. The vast destruction of Greek property, businesses, and churches provides evidence of the Turkish authorities' intent to terrorize the Greeks in Istanbul into abandoning the territory, thus eliminating the Greek minority. This practice falls within the ambit of the crime of ethnic cleansing, which the UN General Assembly and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia have interpreted as constituting a form of genocide... Besides the deaths, thousands were injured; some 200 Greek women were raped, and there are reports that Greek boys were raped as well. Many Greek men, including at least one priest, were subjected to forced circumcision. The riots were accompanied by enormous material damage, estimated by Greek authorities at US$500 million, including the burning of churches and the devastation of shops and private homes. As a result of the pogrom, the Greek minority eventually emigrated from Turkey.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Genocide+Studies+and+Prevention&rft.atitle=The+Istanbul+Pogrom+of+6%E2%80%937+September+1955+in+the+Light+of+International+Law&rft.volume=2&rft.issue=2&rft.pages=137-154&rft.date=2007-08&rft.issn=1911-0359&rft.aulast=de+Zayas&rft.aufirst=Alfred&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fscholarcommons.usf.edu%2Fgsp%2Fvol2%2Fiss2%2F4%2F&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AIstanbul" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-o112-94"><a href="#cite_ref-o112_94-0">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFRoudometofAgadjanianPankhurst2005" class="citation book cs1">Roudometof, V.; Agadjanian, A.; Pankhurst, J.
