After a period of relatively mild and tranquil weather across Turkey and the Middle East, rain, snow, wind and lower temperatures are expected to make a return later this week.As the weather pattern changes and becomes more unsettled, several storms will track across the region through the weekend bringing several rounds of rain, wind and significantly lower temperatures that can lead to snow in some areas.
Since the start of the year daytime high temperatures have averaged 3-6 degrees C (about 5-10 degrees F) above normal across a large portion of Turkey and the Middle East. During this time there has been little to no rainfall reported across nearly all of eastern Turkey and into Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Jerusalem.“The recent warm and dry pattern is expected to abruptly come to an end by the middle and end of the week as several storm systems sweep across the region,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Tyler Roys.
The first in the series of storms moved into western Turkey Tuesday night before shifting into central Turkey on Wednesday. While eastern Turkey will have one last dry day on Wednesday, showers will return Wednesday night and Thursday.
Istanbul is expected to receive rain, some of which could be heavy, Tuesday night. After a warm day on Tuesday, temperatures fell by 9 degrees C (16 degrees F) Wednesday with a high only around 7 or 8 C (upper 40s F). Even chillier air will follow the rest of the week and weekend when temperatures may fail to reach 5 C (41 F) on several days.
An even more significant cooldown is expected in Ankara. After a high around (60 F) on Tuesday, temperatures may be held below the freezing mark by week’s end. As temperatures fall on Wednesday afternoon, rain can mix with or even change to a period of snow before ending, though little or no accumulation is expected. Despite the recent warmth, this storm will bring with it enough cold air which will lead to accumulating snow across northern and eastern Turkey as temperatures fall back closer to, or below, normal.
While precipitation can start as rain late on Wednesday or Wednesday night across cities in northeast Turkey such as Erzincan and Erzurum, rain is expected to transition to snow with a light accumulation possible.
Residents may wake up to a covering of snow Thursday morning which could lead to slick travel as temperatures plummet below freezing. As this cooler air continues to invade, places that originally had rain with the first storm during the middle of the week can have snow later in the week.
