Moving towards Düzce, strong winds and showers have been affecting daily life in the region. Fishermen in Akçakoca were forced to stay ashore due to the rough sea conditions caused by the strong winds. Meanwhile, fog reduced visibility in certain areas, leading highways and police teams to issue warnings for safe driving practices.
Meteorology has issued a yellow coded heavy rain warning for Artvin and Rize. The latest forecasts indicate that various regions in the country will experience partly cloudy and rainy weather, with some areas even expecting sleet and snowfall.
