Meteorologists have raised the alarm, warning of the imminent return of snow, rain, and showers that will sweep across the nation. The General Directorate of Meteorology has issued forecasts indicating that the majority of the country will experience partly cloudy and overcast conditions. Regions such as the southern Aegean, western Mediterranean, southern and eastern inner Anatolia, coastal provinces of the central and eastern Black Sea, and the northern parts of eastern Anatolia are anticipated to be affected by precipitation. The precipitation is expected to manifest as rain and showers, transitioning to a mix of rain and snow in the eastern parts of inner Anatolia, the interior areas of the Black Sea, the northern regions of eastern Anatolia, and the Taurus Mountains. Additionally, the northern, inner, and eastern regions of the country are expected to witness occurrences of icing, frost, as well as fog and sporadic mist.
The recent snowfall events have led to the accumulation of a significant snowpack in the highlands of the eastern Black Sea and eastern Anatolia regions. The risk of avalanches is particularly high in these mountainous and steep areas. Authorities and citizens are urged to exercise caution and take necessary precautions to prevent hazards such as avalanches, landslides, and disruptions to transportation.
### The Temperature and Wind Conditions
The prevailing weather conditions suggest that there will be no significant changes in temperature. Winds are expected to blow lightly from the north, occasionally reaching moderate intensities.
### Avalanche Risk, Icing, and Frost Advisory
In recent days, the accumulation of snow in the eastern Black Sea and eastern Anatolia regions has heightened the risk of avalanches, especially in the high, mountainous, and steep terrains. The threat of avalanches presents potential dangers such as landslides and disruptions to transportation. Authorities and citizens are advised to remain vigilant and take precautions to mitigate risks.
