Turkey weather: Heavy rainfall and temperature drops expected nationwide
Meteorological forecasts for Turkey indicate a significant weather shift throughout the first week of November. A widespread system of rain and thunderstorms is expected to impact various regions, with heavy precipitation warnings issued for the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. Specifically, İzmir, Aydın, and Muğla are under alert for potentially very heavy thunderstorms, with rainfall amounts in some areas reaching up to 75 kilograms per square meter.
In addition to the precipitation, a notable drop in temperatures is anticipated starting Thursday, November 5, as a cold air mass moves in from western regions. While some northern and eastern areas may see temperatures slightly above seasonal norms initially, the overall trend points toward cooler conditions across the country.
Local authorities in several provinces, including Muğla and Antalya, have already mobilized emergency teams to manage the aftermath of recent heavy rains, addressing issues such as flooding, landslides, and road closures. Residents are advised to take precautions against flash floods, lightning, and potential transportation disruptions.
