Turkey is bracing for an early and intense heatwave next week, according to meteorological experts. Temperatures are forecast to reach 35 degrees Celsius in Istanbul and exceed 40 degrees Celsius in Edirne and Kırklareli. The Aydın region is particularly vulnerable, with a high probability of breaking June’s historical temperature record. Southeastern Anatolia could see temperatures nearing 45 degrees Celsius. Meteorologist Prof. Dr. Orhan Şen advises people to avoid unnecessary outdoor activity from Monday through Wednesday. Experts note the heatwave is arriving earlier than anticipated, potentially foreshadowing even more severe conditions later in the summer.
