Amid a severe drought following a scorching summer and unseasonably warm weather persisting across the country until the last month of autumn, weather conditions are beginning to shift with precipitation expected to affect many cities, primarily provinces in the Marmara and Aegean regions, the Turkish State Meteorological Service has said.

State meteorologists are advising citizens to brace for a week of wet weather, with extensive rainfall anticipated across the nation, particularly on Nov. 2 and 3.

Turkish State Meteorological Service's latest weekly forecast report reveals that the onset of rains will commence in the western and southern regions of the country on Oct. 31.

The Turkish State Meteorological Service has issued a torrential rain warning for several provinces in the western and northern regions of the country, in the wake of devastating floods triggered by heavy rainfall in the northwest.

Torrential rain and severe flooding have wreaked havoc in the Black Sea region, prompting urgent responses from local authorities.

As high temperatures that have gripped the country begin to recede towards seasonal averages, meteorologists have issued warnings for localized heavy rainfall across eight provinces, primarily in the inner and southern regions.

 With Türkiye bracing itself for scorching days ahead following experts' warnings over continuing heatwaves and record-breaking temperatures, the Turkish State Meteorological Service has cautioned that thermometers are likely to climb as high as 43 degrees in especially three provinces of Antalya, Aydın and Manisa.

Works are still ongoing in several Black Sea provinces after heavy downpours caused rapid flooding, while some of the highways closed to traffic have been reopened, with an expert warning that extreme weather conditions will continue to prevail as climate change is accelerating.

Flash floods have struck several provinces in the Black Sea region, killing at least one person and triggering more than 1,000 landslides, with the Turkish State Meteorological Service once again issuing an "orange alert" for the region.

As thunderstorms and rain continue to batter the country's northwest, the Turkish State Meteorological Service has issued a "yellow alert" for eight provinces, warning people of possible traffic disruptions amid the Eid al-Adha holiday.

The coastal parts of the Aegean and Mediterranean cities and Southeastern Anatolia are gearing up for a scorching heat during the Eid al-Adha holiday, as meteorologists predict temperatures to soar above seasonal norms.
