According to forecasts, starting from Friday, a significant territory of Turkey will be affected by frosts typical of Siberia. Snow is expected even in Istanbul, which is experiencing a prolonged drought this year, local meteorologists report, as conveyed by RIA Novosti. According to the meteorological service, from December 26, cold and rainy weather will settle in the country. In the northern, central, and eastern regions, rain mixed with snow and snowfalls are expected. The perceived temperature across the country will drop by four to ten degrees, and such conditions will last for at least a week, informs the General Directorate of Meteorology (MGM). Experts warn of potential negative consequences of such weather conditions, including icy roads, damage to agricultural crops, and disruptions in transportation. Forecasts from meteorologists indicate that in the capital Ankara, temperatures may drop to minus three degrees, in Istanbul to zero, and in Erzurum, temperatures are expected to reach minus 17 degrees. Authorities in Istanbul, where 16 million people live, have urged residents to be cautious due to the impending precipitation: snowfall is expected in hilly areas on Friday and Saturday. According to meteorologist Orhan Shen, "a wave of cold air from Siberia will lead to a sharp drop in temperature by seven to eight degrees by the weekend," he told CNN Türk. On October 16, the General Directorate of Meteorology stated that this year's summer has been the driest in the last 65 years for Istanbul, Izmir, and 16 other provinces. On Thursday, the Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration (İSKİ) reported that water reserves in the city's reservoirs are only 17.63% (153 million cubic meters out of 868 million). This is the lowest level in the last decade, and the water will last for only 50 days, as calculated by RIA Novosti.
