A desert heatwave that reached western Türkiye on Sunday is expected to keep temperatures above seasonal averages across much of the country this week, with parts of the Aegean and Mediterranean regions forecast to exceed 40°C through Wednesday.
The hot air mass moving from Greece is expected to push temperatures to around 41°C in Aydın on Tuesday and Antalya on Wednesday, while perceived temperatures could reach as high as 45°C in some areas.
The heat is also forecast to spread across central Anatolia, with temperatures expected to reach 35°C in Ankara and 33°C in Istanbul.
Conditions are expected to ease from Wednesday as rainfall moves into the Marmara region, bringing a gradual drop in temperatures. The rain is forecast to spread to the Black Sea region on Thursday, the Mediterranean on Friday, and central Anatolia on Saturday.
Meanwhile, southeastern Türkiye will continue to experience intense heat. The Turkish State Meteorological Service forecasts temperatures above 40°C in Kahramanmaraş, Şanlıurfa, Adıyaman, Diyarbakır and Batman through July 25.(ILKHA)
