Turkey hit by tropical heatwave from Africa

Turkey is experiencing a significant tropical heatwave originating from Africa, which is expected to persist until August 27. According to Prof. Dr. Murat Türkeş of Boğaziçi University, temperatures across much of the country may rise 3 to 6 degrees Celsius above seasonal norms.

Extreme temperatures have been recorded across various regions. In Bodrum, the perceived temperature reached 45 degrees Celsius due to high humidity and low wind. In Eskişehir, the Sarıcakaya district recorded a high of 42.2 degrees Celsius. Southeast Anatolia is also facing intense heat, with temperatures in areas like Şanlıurfa and Diyarbakır expected to exceed 40 degrees.

While much of the country remains hot, the General Directorate of Meteorology has issued warnings for localized thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in western Kütahya, inland Muğla, and western Antalya. High humidity levels are also expected along the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts, significantly increasing the perceived heat.
