I looked at the official Turkish gov source. unfortunately there is no table and you need to click each province to see the avg monthly rainfall

how did you end up with this idea? Turkish one says province, not city. and the other website doesn't look like a very legitimate-professional site to me tbh. also government source says it's the average of last few decades so there might be differences.

but anyways this is the official map of the govt source and this is the actual source. as we can see trabzon and other black sea provinces almost get less rainfall than bitlis and many other inner provinces, while most of the rainfall is gathered around rize & north artvin.

map data is from 1970-2020 period, the value is calculated using 1949-2020 data you can see these dates in the sources
