In late September 2026, heavy rainfall began impacting agricultural regions in Konya, Turkey. Meteorological assessments indicated that intense precipitation was affecting multiple districts, including Çeltik, Yunak, Tuzlukçu, Akşehir, Doğanhisar, Hüyük, and Ilgın. The weather caused damage to products undergoing the drying process in open fields, prompting authorities to advise farmers to use tarps or move harvests to enclosed areas to mitigate economic loss.

By mid-October, intense downpours in the Akşehir district, specifically the Doğrugöz neighborhood, resulted in significant physical loss of produce. Heavy currents from the rainfall swept away tons of apples, scattering them across various locations. Local residents attempted to recover the drifting fruit using shovels and crates.
