Thunderstorms that intensified in the evening hours in Mardin have negatively affected daily life across the city. The districts of Kızıltepe and Artuklu were particularly affected by the precipitation.
Due to the heavy rain, water accumulated on some streets and avenues. Flooding occurred in certain areas as manholes overflowed, causing disruptions to transportation.
With the rainfall, it was observed that electrical transformers and cable connection points on some streets and avenues were submerged. Local residents and shopkeepers expressed concern that the electrical equipment in areas where water levels rose could pose a risk.
