The southwesterly wind (lodos) that has been affecting Istanbul since yesterday and intensified in the morning caused waves reaching several meters high at Silivri Beach. Some fishing boats moored at the beach took on water and sank. Along the coast where the waves crashed ashore, flooding occurred from time to time, while debris carried by the sea caused pollution along the shoreline.

Due to the storm affecting the Sea of Marmara, waves at Silivri Coast reached heights of several meters. Some fishing boats took on water and sank.

FLOODING ALONG THE COAST

Due to the southwesterly wind that has been effective in Istanbul since yesterday and intensified during the morning hours, huge waves formed at Silivri Coast. The storm, which was especially effective along the coastal area, caused turbulence in the sea. As waves raised by the strong wind crashed against the shore, water overflows occurred from time to time along the coast.

FISHING BOATS SUBMERGED IN WATER

Due to the storm, some fishing boats moored at Silivri Coast took on water. Some of the boats that took on water were seen to have sunk. In the area where the boats are located, seawater movement increased due to adverse weather conditions, and marine pollution also occurred in the coastal areas. Waste accumulating on the beach and various materials carried by the sea caused pollution along the coastline.
