TLDR

  • Turkey's General Directorate of Meteorology (MGM) forecasts scattered rain and thunderstorms across much of the country on April 24, 2026.
  • Heavy rainfall is expected in parts of the Eastern Black Sea, Northern Eastern Anatolia, and several southern provinces.
  • Strong winds, potentially reaching 50-70 km/h, are predicted for the inner parts of the Eastern Mediterranean and Eastern Anatolia.

The Turkish State Meteorological Service (MGM) has issued its latest weather report for April 24, 2026, predicting a dynamic weather pattern across the nation. Much of Turkey can expect a day of scattered showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the Mediterranean region (excluding Hatay), southern and eastern Central Anatolia, the Eastern Black Sea, and Eastern Anatolia.

Residents in the Eastern Black Sea, northern Eastern Anatolia, and provinces such as Isparta, Antalya, Sivas, Bingรถl, and MuลŸ should prepare for potentially heavy rainfall. Simultaneously, strong winds gusting between 50-70 km/h are anticipated in the interior of the Eastern Mediterranean and Eastern Anatolia, prompting warnings for potential disruptions.

While temperatures are expected to rise in the northwest by 4-7 degrees Celsius, a cooling trend of 4-8 degrees is forecast for the southern and eastern parts of Central Anatolia and the inner regions of the Eastern Black Sea. Other areas are likely to experience minimal temperature changes. The MGM also cautioned about the risk of avalanches and snowmelt in the higher elevations of the Eastern Black Sea and Eastern Anatolia due to existing snow cover.
