  • Turkey's General Directorate of Meteorology (MGM) forecasts scattered showers and thunderstorms in northern regions on August 2, 2026.
  • Temperatures are expected to be around seasonal norms, with some southeastern areas experiencing above-normal heat.
  • Strong winds are predicted in parts of Marmara, North Aegean, and Eastern Anatolia.

Turkey's General Directorate of Meteorology (MGM) has issued its weather forecast for August 2, 2026, predicting varied conditions across the country. Northern regions are expected to experience partly cloudy to very cloudy skies, with scattered showers and thunderstorms anticipated in specific areas like Bolu, Karabรผk, Rize, Artvin, Kars, and Ardahan. The inland and higher elevations of Ordu, Giresun, and Trabzon, as well as southern IฤŸdฤฑr and eastern AฤŸrฤฑ, may also see precipitation.

Elsewhere, most of the country is forecast to have clear and less cloudy weather. Temperatures are generally expected to remain around seasonal averages. However, eastern and southeastern parts of Turkey may experience temperatures exceeding normal for this time of year. This suggests a continuation of warmer conditions in the eastern regions.

A strong wind warning has been issued for several areas. Winds are generally expected to blow from the north, though southern and eastern regions might experience southerly winds. The Marmara region, the North Aegean coast, and western Eastern Anatolia are forecast to experience strong winds ranging from 30 to 60 km/h. This could impact outdoor activities and potentially pose risks in exposed areas.

Detailed forecasts for major regions indicate specific conditions. The Marmara region will see northwesterly winds blowing strongly. The Aegean region will also experience northwesterly winds, particularly in the north. The Mediterranean and Central Anatolia regions are expected to remain mostly clear and sunny. The Black Sea region will see a mix of clouds and sun, with potential for rain in the northern and eastern parts. Eastern Anatolia will be partly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the northeastern areas, particularly in Kars, Ardahan, IฤŸdฤฑr, and AฤŸrฤฑ.
