Özet:

Climate types that are formed and spread depending on various processes have significant impacts on living life. In this characteristic, the climate types on the earth have been studied by the subject of various classes of disturbances. There are a number of methods of climate analysis. In this study, the Thornthwaite Climate Classification method was used while determining the climate characteristics of the Sanlıurfa province. In the classification made, the meteorological data with quantum and point characteristics are converted into quality and alansal forms. In addition, the methodology of the study is detailed and the water balance table of the stations in the province of Sanlıurfa (Sanlıurfa Center, Akçakale, Birecik, Bozova, Ceylanpınar, Hilvan, Siverek and Viranşehir) has been determined with the diagram, rain activity, temperature regime, temperature activity and rain regime. These findings have been converted into alansal by making data enterpolation in the ArcGIS 10.5. The climate is clearly clarified. According to the findings obtained, it has been found that the area generally has a dry-half dry climate. The results show that the drought size in the field increases to the south. The dry-half-dry climate characteristic of the area shows that it interacts with the dry and desert areas in the south, and the increased temperature over the years is also associated with decreased rainfall, the area is highly affected by drought and desert.
