The General Directorate of Meteorology has issued a comprehensive warning of stormy weather and intense rainfall spanning across 27 provinces. Hatay has been placed under an orange-coded alert, while 26 other provinces, including Adana, Düzce, Erzurum, and Trabzon, are subject to a yellow-coded warning.
Türkiye, gripped by cold and rainy conditions over the weekend, experienced a day of life disruption due to the storm. Numerous cities witnessed the forceful removal of roofs and trees, prompting the cancellation of transportation services. Today, the Meteorology Department has extended yellow and orange warnings to 27 cities.
In the latest evaluations conducted by the General Directorate of Meteorology, persistent precipitation is anticipated in the northern, central, and eastern regions of the country. Particularly intense rainfall is expected in the Eastern Black Sea, eastern Eastern Anatolia, Batman, and Siirt, with even more severe conditions forecasted in the vicinity of Trabzon, Rize, and Artvin. A noticeable decrease in air temperature (ranging from 6 to 12 degrees) is foreseen for the northern, central, and eastern areas, while minimal change is expected in the southern and western regions. Winds are projected to be predominantly southerly, transitioning to west and northwest directions intermittently. Light to moderate winds are anticipated in the interior and western parts, with stronger, occasionally brief storms forecasted for the eastern Mediterranean, western Black Sea, eastern Anatolia, and the western and northeastern regions of Southeastern Anatolia.
HEAVY RAINFALL WARNING
Intense precipitation is forecasted for the eastern Black Sea, eastern Anatolia, and the Batman and Siirt regions. The Trabzon, Rize, and Artvin areas are expected to experience exceptionally heavy rainfall. In central and eastern regions, precipitation may manifest as a mix of rain and snow in elevated and mountainous terrains. Vigilance is strongly advised, with a need for caution against adverse conditions such as floods, transportation disruptions, and other challenges arising from the potent precipitation.
