Winter is coming to the country as of the weekend and the temperature will start to fall below the seasonal normal from the beginning of the week, a prominent meteorologist has warned.
Reminding that the temperatures are above the seasonal normal throughout the country in September and October, Orhan Şen pointed out that the country will eventually experience the winter’s cold as of the weekend.
The temperatures will also start to decrease by 4 to 8 degrees from the beginning of the week, Şen estimated.
“Get your coats ready for the weekend and check whether your stoves are working as you will light them,” Şen stated.
Meanwhile, the Turkish State Meteorological Service has also stated that the temperature will drop in the Marmara, Mediterranean regions and inland areas of the country while other regions will not experience a significant temperature decrease.
The Mediterranean, Central Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia regions and the western parts of Eastern Anatolia Region will be experiencing heavy rains and downpours, according to the forecast.
Thunderstorms are expected in the Mediterranean coastal areas, while sleet and occasional snow may be observed in the high parts of the eastern province of Sivas and the southeastern provinces of Tunceli, Erzincan and Bingöl.
