Ministry warns of agricultural frost: Take your precautions

Turkey’s Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change warned citizens of agricultural frost risk in inland regions beginning tomorrow as a cold air wave is expected to push temperatures below seasonal norms through the middle of next week. The ministry urged residents and growers to take precautions against crop damage. The warning matters because sub-zero temperatures during the growing season can cut yields and raise food-price pressure. Watch for updated temperature forecasts and any damage assessments from affected agricultural regions.
