Heavy rainfall and flooding in Samsun

Overview

Heavy rainfall in the Samsun province has caused escalating disruptions. Initially, intense rain led to significant traffic congestion at the Cumhuriyet Meydanı Junction in the İlkadım district, which delayed drivers and hindered emergency services.

As the weather continued, the situation worsened in the Çarşamba district. Flooding affected approximately 30 neighborhoods situated between the Samsun-Ordu highway and the sea. This flooding caused damage to residential areas, including houses and barns, as well as agricultural lands. Officials reported impacts on hazelnut orchards, vegetable greenhouses, and various crops such as watermelon, melon, and corn. Agricultural authorities are currently conducting damage assessments to facilitate compensation for producers covered by insurance.
