"A RECORD MAY BE BROKEN IN ISTANBUL'S SOUTHERN DISTRICTS"
Prof. Dr. Orhan Şen stated in a social media post, "Be careful of heat strokes today and tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the hottest day in Istanbul. Due to the heat island effect, extreme temperatures will continue until the end of the workday. Tonight will be the hottest night at 27°C. A record may be broken in Istanbul's southern districts during the day, reaching 38-40°C. Do not go outside tomorrow. If our governor advances the working hours tomorrow, we can get through this before it turns into a disaster." he said.
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS IN IRAN HAVE BEEN CLOSED
On the other hand, to prevent high energy consumption due to the ongoing extreme heat in Iran, public institutions have been closed in many provinces, including the capital Tehran, on July 23. The provinces that have been closed include Gilan, Fars, Central, Razavi Khorasan, Golestan, Alborz, Mazandaran, Kerman, Bushehr, Hormozgan, Khuzestan, Lorestan, North Khorasan, and Yazd.
In provinces that have not been closed, working hours have been changed. In many provinces, including Semnan and Kermanshah, working hours have been adjusted to between 06:00 and 11:00.
