Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

İstanbul Governor’s Office issued a weekend weather alert for the city, warning that thunderstorms starting around midday Saturday could bring up to 50 kilograms of rain per square meter in some areas. Officials flagged risks including flash flooding, urban inundation, tornadoes, hail and storms, urging residents to take precautions. The warning matters because such intense rainfall in a dense metropolis can disrupt transport, damage property and strain drainage systems. Authorities did not specify which districts face the heaviest totals. What to watch next: whether the forecast intensity holds and how municipal services respond to any flooding.
