The rainy weather wave that started across Turkey over the weekend will persist for four days. While heavy downpours and localized snow are expected in many regions, temperatures will drop sharply in the west. Toward the middle of the new week, the precipitation will gradually give way to sunshine.
According to the latest forecasts from Meteorology, the rainy weather wave that will affect Turkey nationwide starts this weekend and will last until the first days of the new week. The precipitation, which is expected to strengthen especially in the southern and inland regions, is predicted to be felt across the country for four days. In the western regions, temperatures are expected to drop significantly, while the wind is also forecast to increase.
HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALLY SNOW EXPECTED
Precipitation is expected to be heavy in the eastern part of Central Anatolia, the Central Black Sea region, the inland areas of the Eastern Mediterranean, and some provinces of Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia. In higher elevations, sleet and locally snowfall may occur. Winter conditions may reassert themselves, especially in high-altitude areas of the inland Western Black Sea region.

The General Directorate of Meteorology has issued yellow code warnings for Amasya, Antalya, Bitlis, Burdur, Çorum, Diyarbakır, Isparta, Ordu, Samsun, Siirt, Sinop, Tokat, and Batman.

Experts emphasize the need to be cautious against flash floods, flooding, and disruptions in transportation.
ATTENTION TO WIND AND AVALANCHE DANGER
While wind is also expected to strengthen, strong gusts reaching 70 kilometers per hour are anticipated in Marmara, Northern Aegean, and inland regions. In the high elevations of Eastern Anatolia, the risk of avalanches continues.
