Abdullah Macit, a weather forecast expert at the Meteorology General Directorate of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, provided details to Anadolu Agency (AA).

Macit stated that local showers are expected tomorrow in the coastal Aegean, Black Sea, Marmara, and northern parts of Central Anatolia.

He noted that rainfall will be particularly intense around Bursa, Kocaeli, and Sakarya during the morning and in the western Black Sea region from midday onwards.
