Double warning from the Meteorological Service

The General Directorate of Meteorology (MGM) has published its weather forecast report for Friday, August 7, 2026. According to the report, no significant change is expected in temperatures across the country; air temperatures are generally expected to remain above seasonal norms.

It was reported that the northern parts of the country and the Mediterranean will be partly to, at times, very cloudy; local showers and thunderstorms are expected in some regions. Citizens were asked to be careful and take precautions due to the dust transport expected in the east of Southeastern Anatolia.

REGIONS WHERE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED

According to the latest assessments by the MGM, local showers and thunderstorms are expected in the Taurus Mountains section of the Mediterranean, the Eastern Black Sea coast, and the surroundings of Ordu, Artvin, Kars, and Ardahan, as well as the western parts of Istanbul and the northern parts of Çanakkale.

The wind is expected to blow generally from the north, and from southerly directions in the southern and eastern parts, lightly to occasionally moderately. It is assessed that the dust transport could lead to negative conditions such as a decrease in visibility, a reduction in air quality, and disruptions in transportation.
