The scorching heatwave gripping the nation has experts issuing a warning of record high temperatures until Tuesday. Meteorology consultant Prof. Dr. Orhan Şen provided details on the unprecedented heatwave, describing how temperatures have soared to 27-27.5 degrees, far above the average of 12-13 degrees for this time of year. Today, the blistering weather will persist, with temperatures expected to climb even higher tomorrow, reaching around 28-29 degrees. However, not all regions will experience such extreme heat, with areas like Şişli and Ümraniye seeing slightly lower temperatures of 25-26 degrees. In Beşiktaş, temperatures are expected to reach 28 degrees, potentially equaling the previous record. If temperatures spike to 29 degrees, it could break a century-old heat record. These scorching temperatures are more typical of June and July, making this heatwave particularly intense for this time of year. Meanwhile, Ankara is forecasted to experience even hotter temperatures, potentially breaking the record at 28 degrees.
### A Drastic Change in Weather
As the week progresses, Istanbul is bracing for a sudden shift in weather patterns. Starting from Tuesday, the city is expected to experience a dramatic drop in temperatures, with a mix of rain and even snow in some parts of Anatolia. The temperature is forecasted to plummet by around 14-15 degrees, leading to a stark contrast in weather conditions. Tuesday and Wednesday will see a countrywide decline in temperatures, marking a significant change from the scorching heatwave of the previous days.

Meteorological experts emphasize the importance of closely monitoring these extreme weather fluctuations, as they can have far-reaching consequences on various aspects of daily life. Prof. Dr. Orhan Şen urges the public to stay informed and take necessary precautions to mitigate the impact of the heatwave and subsequent temperature drop. By staying updated on weather forecasts and heeding expert advice, individuals can better prepare for the unpredictable nature of Mother Nature.
As the heatwave continues to grip the nation, it is crucial for individuals to prioritize their health and safety by staying hydrated, seeking shade, and avoiding prolonged exposure to the scorching sun. By remaining vigilant and proactive in response to these extreme weather conditions, we can collectively navigate through this challenging period with resilience and caution.
The heatwave may be breaking records, but with informed decision-making and a collective effort to adapt to the changing weather patterns, we can weather the storm together.
