Meteorology Issues Warning: Heavy rain is on the way

According to the latest weather forecasts from the General Directorate of Meteorology, partly cloudy weather will prevail in the western parts of Turkey as well as in the Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia regions. While light showers are expected in Istanbul and Balıkesir, icing and frost events will occur in the eastern provinces. Additionally, there is a risk of avalanches in the interior parts of the Eastern Black Sea region and on the high and sloping hillsides of Eastern Anatolia.

Air temperatures are expected to continue to hover above seasonal norms across the country. The wind will generally blow from southern directions at light to moderate strength. However, the wind is expected to increase in speed and blow strongly (40-60 km/h) in the west of the Marmara region and along the North Aegean coasts.
