Ankara's climatological mean maximum temperature for May hovers around 22°C (21.7-22.3°C across datasets). This proposition's <= 22°C threshold aligns precisely with the monthly thermal equilibrium, indicating a strong likelihood of regression to the mean without significant synoptic perturbations. Absence of strong positive thermal anomaly signals in long-range models, such as persistent southerly advection or a robust upper-level ridge, supports cooler-than-threshold or exactly-at-threshold conditions. Daily max temperature dispersion around this mean heavily favors the 'yes' side. 90% YES — invalid if a persistent anticyclonic block establishes over Anatolia leading to significant adiabatic warming.
