Heavy rainfall in the Alanya district of Antalya caused significant flooding at the Saturday market in the Mahmutlar neighborhood. The downpour caused water to flow from sloped areas, carrying debris such as paper, plastic bags, and vegetable waste which blocked manholes and caused water levels to rise rapidly.

Vendors attempted to protect their goods and stalls, while shoppers faced difficulties navigating the area. Local vendor Celal Yaşar reported that the blockage forced people to wade through deep water and noted that vendors eventually had to clear the clogged manholes themselves after receiving no response from the municipal solution desk.
