Istanbul is set for a pleasant day today, with clear skies and temperatures climbing to a weekly peak of 27°C. Light winds from the lodos and poyraz directions are expected, contributing to what is described as one of the most beautiful days of the holiday period.

However, this warm spell is forecast to break on Thursday. The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality's Disaster Coordination Center (AKOM) has issued a "caution" notice, warning of thunderstorms with rainfall expected to range between 5 to 15 kilograms per square meter. While the temperature will hover around 24°C, residents venturing outdoors are advised to take precautions against the heavy showers.

Following the anticipated rainfall on Thursday, the weather is expected to improve significantly. From Friday onwards, the rain is predicted to leave the city, and sunny days will return. Temperatures are expected to range between a comfortable 24°C and 27°C, bringing back warmer conditions for the remainder of the week.
