Istanbul residents waiting for rain may get it on Friday, when thunderstorms are possible across the city after a week of hot and sunny weather.
According to an assessment by AKOM, a cool air flow from the north should keep temperatures around seasonal norms. The poyraz wind may strengthen at times, reaching 20 to 50 kilometers per hour, and prevent temperatures from rising excessively.
Temperatures across Istanbul are expected to range between 28 and 31 degrees Celsius, while the rest of the week should bring partly cloudy or mostly clear skies. Forecast lows and highs are 21 to 29 degrees on September 3, 21 to 27 degrees on September 4, 21 to 31 degrees on September 5, 22 to 32 degrees on September 6, 21 to 28 degrees on September 7 and 20 to 27 degrees on September 8.
