Precipitation to hit northern provinces through week

ANKARA

A new precipitation wave will impact the northern provinces along the Black Sea shores through the week, said the meteorologists, warning many provinces of thunder-boomers and floodings.

According to the State Meteorological Service, there will be rainfalls in the Marmara region, some Aegean provinces, the provinces near the Georgian border.

Türkiye’s most populous city Istanbul witnessed downpours late on June 20.

“The rains will continue early on June 21,” prominent meteorologist Orhan Şen said. Followed by a sunny June 22, Istanbul will finish the week with heavy rainfalls.

Despite the rainy weather, the temperatures will not fall and will be between 18 and 30 Celsius through the week.

Warning the residents of the northwestern provinces of Bursa and Kocaeli and the northern province of Zonguldak of heavy precipitation for June 21, Şen said the northern provinces close to the Georgian border will witness downpours starting from June 22 until the end of the week.

The Aegean and the Mediterranean coastal provinces will “enjoy the sun,” except the provinces of Mersin and Adana experiencing light freezing rainfalls.
