Istanbul is set for a clear and dry week ahead, as confirmed by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality's Disaster Coordination Center (AKOM). The city will see sunny skies with minimal cloud cover from Monday, August 17, through Friday, August 21.

This clear weather follows a period of cooler temperatures and strong winds affecting northern Turkey. AKOM reported that the region is under the influence of cool air moving in from the Balkans. This system was expected to bring intermittent stormy winds from the north until Monday.

Temperatures during this cooler spell have been hovering between 26-28 degrees Celsius, falling below seasonal averages. Short, localized rain showers were also possible alongside the cooler weather. However, the forecast for the upcoming week indicates a return to stable, fair conditions across Istanbul.
