In line with this, there are puddles in hollow areas, stream beds and areas suitable for water collection, especially in some regions. Therefore, this risk cannot be taken. The soil is saturated. The rains have already stopped in Istanbul. We can see such very light and heavy rains on the Anatolian side. We estimate that rain will start again in Istanbul, with a southerly wind from the southern parts, starting from the first hours of Friday. Locally, especially in the northern parts of the European side of the city." "We expect it to be strong and we have issued a meteorological warning regarding this."
WATCH OUT FOR SATURDAY!
Yağan stated that there is no evaluation regarding the "yellow" coded warning turning into an "orange" coded warning in Istanbul and continued as follows: "Currently, we are talking about a yellow coded warning that will spread over time and will have its effect over time. The warning we have issued starts at 09.00 tomorrow (Friday) morning and continues until 23.59 on Saturday.
On Friday, we will see slightly heavier rains in the northern parts of the city, especially the northern parts of the European side, due to the influence of these southerly winds.
