Mediterranean climate

Temperatures across the country are expected to soar above seasonal norms, marking a much-anticipated step into the warmer season, with some regions expecting to exceed 30 degrees Celsius, Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Minister Mehmet Özhaseki has announced.

This style was not only practical for the warm Mediterranean climate but also conveyed a sense of strength and power

The Mediterranean region, an indispensable destination for summer vacations with its sea, sand and sun trio, may soon be dethroned by the Black Sea region known for its cool plateaus and mild weather.

The year 2023 marked the hottest year on record. However, experts warn that the effects of climate change will become stronger in the coming years.

Amidst record-breaking temperatures and intensifying heatwaves scorching Türkiye, along with the rest of the world, fuelled by the El Nino phenomenon, a meteorologist has warned that the country should brace itself to experience the hottest day of the year on July 26.

It used to be that, in Greek summers, temperatures, with few exceptions, used to peak at around 33 degrees Celsius (92F), ideal for beachgoers and other holidaymakers, domestic and foreign.

But heatwaves have become increasingly frequent since the late 1950s and this trend is accelerating.

While vacationers might enjoy the Mediterranean Sea's summer warmth, climate scientists are warning of dire consequences for its marine life as it burns up in a series of severe heat waves.

A relatively warm spell that has been pervading Istanbul and Turkey's western coasts for months, despite the fact that it's the middle of winter, concerns experts.

According to the models of climate researchers and experts, there is an average temperature increase of 2 degrees Celsius in Turkey until 2035, which indicates that a serious drought threat is at hand.

As Turkey has been under the deep effects of drought due to global warming and misuse of existent water sources, a new climate report submitted to the Turkish Parliament emphasizes that the situation might worsen over time.

Temperatures in the capital over the weekend were the highest on record for mid-May, according to the National Observatory of Athens, which said its weather station in Thiseio recorded just under 37 degrees Celsius on both days. 

After the last few cooler days, the spring is back again. This shows the medium-term weather patterns seen in Darik Coffee this morning.

On Saturday we will enjoy a clear and warm weather. And on Sunday the maximum temperatures will even exceed 20 degrees.

On Saturday in the north, there may be more clouds, but precipitation is unlikely.
