Rain to bring brief relief from heat in Istanbul

A new weather system is expected to bring thunderstorms and heavy rain to Istanbul over the weekend, offering temporary relief from the ongoing heatwave. The Istanbul Governor’s Office warned of strong thunderstorms, particularly in European-side districts, which could lower air temperatures by 2–3°C and perceived temperatures by around 5°C. CNN Türk meteorologist Prof. Dr. Orhan Şen noted that rainfall would primarily affect Istanbul on Saturday, with no rain expected on Sunday. He also predicted continued local showers in the Mediterranean and parts of Anatolia next week, followed by a return to high temperatures in early July. Meanwhile, extreme heat has already impacted southeastern Turkey, with temperatures reaching up to 44°C in Şanlıurfa, causing infrastructure damage. Climate experts warn that failing to transition away from coal could worsen the climate crisis, leading to increased migration and resource-related conflicts.
