Turkey Weather Forecast: Scattered Showers and Strong Winds Expected June 23, 2026

Turkey's General Directorate of Meteorology (MGM) has issued a weather report for June 23, 2026, forecasting mixed conditions across the country. The interior and eastern parts of Turkey are expected to experience partly cloudy to very cloudy skies with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Specifically, the eastern Mediterranean (excluding Mersin), inner parts of the Eastern Black Sea region, northern and western parts of Eastern Anatolia, and the provinces of Niğde, Kayseri, Sivas, Adıyaman, Gaziantep, Kilis, and northern and eastern Van are anticipated to receive intermittent rainfall with thunder.

Residents in southeastern Anatolia are advised to exercise caution due to expected dust transport. Additionally, a strong wind warning is in effect for the western and eastern parts of southeastern Anatolia, with winds predicted to blow from the north/northwest and south/southwest respectively, reaching speeds of 40-70 km/h, potentially causing short-lived storms.

Regional forecasts indicate clear and partly cloudy skies for the Marmara and Aegean regions. However, the Mediterranean region, particularly the eastern parts (excluding Mersin), will see partly cloudy to very cloudy conditions with chances of rain. The Central and Eastern Black Sea regions will also experience partly cloudy to very cloudy skies, with the inner areas of the Eastern Black Sea facing intermittent showers and thunderstorms. The Inner Anatolia region's eastern parts are also forecast to have scattered showers and thunderstorms.
