Heatwave Alert: Istanbul and Other Provinces Brace for Sweltering Temperatures – Check the Forecast Here!
The latest weather forecast indicates that parts of northern, central, and western Turkey will be partly cloudy with occasional very cloudy periods. Regions like Marmara, Northern Aegean, Taurus Mountains of the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Black Sea will experience local torrential downpours with thunderstorms. However, other areas will have clear skies and minimal cloud coverage.
The General Directorate of Meteorology predicts heavy rainfall in some areas of the Western Black Sea Region and around Eskişehir. While no significant changes are expected in temperatures, it is likely that they will remain above seasonal norms nationwide. Light to moderate southerly winds are expected in the northern and western regions, particularly along the Mediterranean coast and in Southeastern Anatolia.
In terms of temperatures, CNN Türk Meteorology Advisor Prof. Dr. Orhan Şen warns of sweltering heat returning to the region. Showers are expected in various parts of Istanbul, Marmara, Aegean, and Black Sea regions. Sea temperatures have dropped in the North Aegean and Marmara Seas due to northeasterly winds stirring the waters.
Temperatures are expected to be above average, with an increase of 2-5 degrees at the beginning of the week. Cities like Antalya, Izmir, and Muğla could see temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius. In Istanbul, temperatures are expected to reach 32 degrees today, increasing to 35 degrees on Sunday and Monday.
For specific weather conditions and expected temperatures in different provinces, Ankara will have local showers and thunderstorms with a high of 32 degrees, while Istanbul will experience scattered showers and thunderstorms with a maximum of 31 degrees. Izmir will see showers locally with a high of 36 degrees, and Adana will have showers and thunderstorms in the north with temperatures reaching 35 degrees.
Overall, Turkey can expect a mix of cloudy skies, scattered showers, and above-average temperatures in the coming days. Stay informed and prepared for changing weather conditions in your area.
