Following warnings from the Meteorology Service and AKOM, a storm hit Bursa and Istanbul yesterday evening. Many people who were caught unprepared by the storm in the evening hours experienced difficult moments. Whether schools are closed in Bursa and Istanbul has become one of the most searched questions.
WHAT DID AKOM SAY?
The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Disaster Coordination Center (AKOM) announced that strong southwesterly (lodos) and northwesterly (karayel) winds, along with heavy rainfall, would be effective across the city. According to the statement, due to the low-pressure system that began today in the Marmara Region, the wind is expected to blow as a severe storm, and at times a strong storm, from the southwesterly and northwesterly directions.
With the effect of the heavy rainfall accompanying these weather patterns, temperatures are expected to drop by 8-10 degrees. AKOM has called on citizens to be careful and take precautions against adverse weather conditions.
