Türkiye braces for scorching temperatures as summer steadily approaches, with meteorologists forecasting a significant spike of 10 to 15 degrees Celsius in some parts of the nation.

The Turkish State Meteorological Service issued alerts confirming that temperatures above seasonal norms are anticipated to surge in the coming days.

The Turkish State Meteorology Service (MGM) has issued a yellow-code warning for six provinces, including Balıkesir, Çanakkale, Edirne, İzmir, Kırklareli, and Tekirdağ, as strong winds, known as lodos, are expected to sweep through the Marmara and Aegean regions of Türkiye, bringing the possibility of mud showers due to dust transport.

With light rains witnessed on the first day of the new year, experts predict the occurrence of intermittent precipitation across the country for the coming week.
