The western, central and southern parts of the country will see a considerable temperature increase over the rest of the week, the Turkish State Meteorological Service, or DMİ.
Temperatures will exceed typical seasonal levels in the immediate future in the country’s central and eastern regions, the DMİ said, warning residents and visitors to take all necessary precautions to avoid possible negative effects such as sunstroke.
According to meteorology experts, areas where temperatures are high and humidity is low face an elevated risk of forest fires. People living in such areas, including the southeastern provinces of Diyarbakır, Gaziantep, Kahramanmaraş and Siirt, should be alert to the possibility of blazes.
The meteorological service also reported that the coastal northwestern part of the country, including the provinces of Giresun, Hopa, Kastamonu, Ordu, Rize, Samsun, Sinop and Trabzon, would be subject to temporary, localized thunderstorms.
