Turkey prepares for heavy rainfall and the arrival of the first snow as temperatures plummet this weekend
In the picturesque landscapes of Eastern Anatolia, the first snow of the season has blanketed the highland plateaus, bringing a chill to the air. The Ovit Mountain area in Rize, for instance, has seen a 10-centimeter white layer settle upon its peaks.
The snowfall has not been limited to Rize, as Erzurum has also reported new snowfall in Oltu's Nugucuk Plateau and around Gaceti Mountain.
As the winter weather sets in, meteorologists are predicting more rain and occasional thunderstorms in the coming days. This could potentially lead to sudden floods and landslides, and people are being urged to exercise caution.
Authorities are advising residents and travelers to check daily forecasts before heading out, and drivers are being warned to watch for slippery roads. Those in rural areas are being encouraged to secure their equipment and livestock ahead of possible storms.
However, the specific provinces under a strong rain warning have not been clearly identified in the provided information. The search results do not specify the 17 provinces in Turkey that are currently under this warning, nor do they provide details about the additional regions affected by intense rain and thunderstorms.
Despite the lack of specific details, the message is clear: be vigilant against floods and landslides, and take the necessary precautions to stay safe during this winter weather. Stay tuned for further updates as the situation develops.
