Meteorological assessments for the 2026 ‘pastırma yazı’ (Indian summer) in Turkey indicate a period of temporary warmth and increased sunshine expected during the mid-to-late autumn. Initial forecasts suggested the phenomenon would occur between October 25 and November 15, driven by high-pressure systems. Subsequent long-term forecasts from the General Directorate of Meteorology indicated that temperatures in several regions, including eastern Marmara, the inner North Aegean, and parts of Central and Eastern Anatolia, would exceed seasonal norms by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius in October.
