Good news for Istanbul residents: Rain is coming

Turkey is burning under the influence of 'eyyam-ı bahur' heatwaves. The extreme heatwave coming from Africa continues to have an impact in many regions, primarily in Central Anatolia and the Aegean. In the country, where thermometers show up to 55 degrees in some places, temperatures are hovering above 40 degrees.

While light winds increase the effect of the temperatures, according to experts, this stifling weather will continue in Anatolia for at least three more days.
