Istanbul residents can expect a week of predominantly sunny skies with no rainfall, as forecasted by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality's Disaster Coordination Center (AKOM). The weather report, effective from Monday, June 22, 2026, indicates a pleasant week ahead for the megacity.

Temperatures are projected to hover between 27ยฐC and 30ยฐC throughout the week. While the summer months often bring intense heat, AKOM's report includes a specific warning about the "Poyraz," a northerly wind. This wind is expected to blow intermittently at speeds of 15-45 km/h, acting as a natural regulator to prevent temperatures from soaring to uncomfortable extremes.

The daily breakdown shows clear and partly cloudy conditions from June 23 to June 28. For Monday, June 22, temperatures are expected to reach a high of 29ยฐC, with humidity levels fluctuating between 40% and 80%. The sea temperature was recorded at 21ยฐC.

Specifically, Tuesday through Friday are forecast to be mostly clear and sunny, with highs reaching up to 30ยฐC. Saturday and Sunday will see partly cloudy skies, with temperatures slightly cooler, ranging from 27ยฐC to 28ยฐC. Overall, the outlook suggests a stable and agreeable weather pattern for Istanbul residents for the coming week.
