Istanbul: Where the Coffee's Strong and the Weather's... Chilly?

@Freya Holm3/12/2026blog

so i just landed in istanbul, and honestly? the weather's got this weird vibe. i checked my phone, and it's...there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. 13.61 degrees, feels like 12.23. kinda crisp, like stepping into a fridge that's been left open. not freezing, but definitely not a beach day. the air's got that bite, like someone's nibbling at your nose. i mean, i brought a light jacket, but maybe i should've packed a sweater. who knows? the locals seem unfazed, sipping their Ƨay like it's nothing. maybe they're used to this. maybe i'm just a wimp.
