Meteorology announced: yellow code warning for 16 provinces! Temperatures will drop, showers will be effective

Turkey’s Meteorological General Directorate (MGM) issued a yellow-code warning for 16 provinces ahead of expected heavy showers, thunderstorms and sharply cooler temperatures across the country. Forecasters said the entire country will be mostly cloudy, with rain affecting the eastern Mediterranean, Black Sea coasts, eastern and southeastern Anatolia, Sakarya, Artvin and Antalya’s coastal districts. Precipitation is expected to be strongest in southeastern Anatolia, the southeast of eastern Anatolia and around Hatay, while snow is forecast at high elevations in northern eastern Anatolia and inland Artvin. The warning matters because the downpours and temperature drop could disrupt transport, agriculture and daily activity in the flagged provinces. Watchers should track MGM’s updated warnings and local rainfall totals as the system moves eastward.
