Türkiye is set to witness an exceptional snow wave, with temperatures dropping to 10 degrees below zero in some areas.

Arab Weather - Weather forecasters at "Arab Weather" are following a very cold air mass of polar origin, which is expected to rush towards Turkish territory starting tomorrow, Saturday, and remain over Turkish territory for several days.

Experts said that a very cold polar mass will separate from a huge polar mass in the middle of the European continent in the coming days and head directly towards Turkey, which will result in a significant and noticeable drop in temperatures in various regions, including coastal areas and the city of Istanbul.

A wide wave of snow sweeps across Turkish lands

The polar mass is expected to be accompanied by a rush of large amounts of moisture accompanying this polar mass, so heavy rain is expected to fall starting from tomorrow evening, Saturday, and this rain will quickly turn into snow and include all mountainous heights during the evening and night of Saturday and the day of Sunday, including parts of the coastal areas as a result of the flow of polar winds behind the air depression, which will lead to widespread snowfall in most Turkish cities, especially the central, northern and eastern ones, which are expected to be heavy snow at times, resulting in snow accumulations exceeding half a meter in some areas.

Temperatures drop to record and unprecedented levels

With the continued flow of polar winds towards Turkey, temperatures are expected to drop on Sunday to below zero degrees Celsius in large areas of the country, while temperatures will approach zero degrees Celsius in coastal areas, while the cold will deepen significantly during the night and dawn hours, causing temperatures to drop to a record low and drop to 10 degrees Celsius below zero, especially in the eastern parts and high mountainous areas.
