Heavy downpour in Mersin: Avenues and streets turned into lakes

A short-term shower was effective in the district in the morning hours. Due to the rain, floods occurred in rural neighborhoods as well as in the district center.

Busy avenues and streets turned into lakes. While drivers in traffic had difficulty moving forward with their vehicles, there was congestion on alternative routes.

People who were trapped in some of the broken down vehicles were rescued by people around them. As the rain faded, municipal teams started working to drain the water.
