The meteorology expert gave a date for heavy snowfall in Istanbul.

Recently increasing rainfall has raised expectations of snowfall in many cities, especially in Istanbul, while experts have issued warnings regarding snowfall ahead of the new year.

"NO SNOW ON NEW YEAR'S EVE"

Meteorology expert Prof. Dr. Orhan Şen stated on his social media account that there will be no snowfall in Istanbul on New Year's Eve, while sharing the date when the giant city will be covered in white with his followers.

"HEAVY SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED"

Şen noted that seeing snow in Silivri or the high areas of Kartal is not sufficient to say "it snowed in Istanbul," and he conveyed that even the roads in the city center will be covered in white, stating, "Those expecting snowfall in the Marmara region, including Istanbul, should wait for January 9-10."

"CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN AGAINST AVALANCHE DANGER IN THE EAST"

Şen also drew attention to the increasing avalanche incidents in recent days, emphasizing that the rainfall will continue to be effective in the eastern part of Turkey. The expert stated, "Caution should be taken against avalanche danger in the East."

The temperature in Istanbul is expected to be 9 degrees with intermittent rain, Muğla 8 degrees, with rainfall being locally strong in the eastern districts. Izmir will be 12 degrees, Antalya 10 degrees with heavy rain, and the interior and high areas will experience mixed rain and snow. The rainfall is expected to be locally strong.
