Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Disaster Coordination Center (AKOM) issued a warning to Istanbul residents for Tuesday, May 12. According to the AKOM report, daytime conditions will feel summery, but temperatures will drop suddenly. Citizens were advised to be cautious due to the deceptive nature of the weather conditions. It was noted that such sudden changes can be particularly risky for elderly individuals and children.
Istanbul will be warm and sunny on Tuesday morning, but temperatures will drop sharply from the evening hours onwards and rainfall is expected. AKOM advises citizens to carry umbrellas and extra clothing.
If Istanbulites who leave home in light clothing in the morning are not prepared by evening, they could be caught in cold and rain, which will extend waiting times in open areas affecting transportation and work. Being unprepared for changes in clothing needs and weather conditions increases the risk of falling ill, particularly on public transport used by millions of people.
