Temperatures across Türkiye are expected to remain above seasonal averages throughout the week, while thunderstorms are forecast for parts of the country and authorities warn of an elevated risk of forest fires.
Cengiz Çelik, a weather forecasting expert at the General Directorate of Meteorology, said temperatures will continue to run several degrees above seasonal norms nationwide, with limited rainfall expected in specific regions.
According to Çelik, intermittent thunderstorms and showers are forecast this week in the Inner Aegean region, inland parts of the Mediterranean region and the northeastern areas of Eastern Anatolia. The rainfall is expected to occur mainly during the afternoon and early evening hours.
Additional showers and thunderstorms are expected in Central Anatolia and the Black Sea region on Wednesday and again over the weekend.
In contrast, no significant rainfall is forecast for the Marmara region, southeastern Türkiye and most coastal areas during the coming days.
