Weather Update | Black Sea Rainstorm Intensifies Over Türkiye (Winds Over 100 km/h, Heavy Rain)

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Arab Weather -</strong> Advanced satellite images detect dense bands of rainy cumulus clouds around the center of a rainstorm over the Black Sea, as heavy rain falls across all regions of Turkey. The areas overlooking the Black Sea are the most affected by this storm.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Deepening atmospheric pressure in the center of the storm (strong winds and heavy rain)</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> As the storm deepened, atmospheric pressure values dropped further, allowing more opportunity for clouds to grow to high levels in the atmosphere. Winds intensified, leading to the formation of more thick cumulonimbus clouds carrying large amounts of rain, which may range between 200-250 mm, especially in northern Turkey. The risk of flash floods and the flow of valleys and ravines increases significantly, in addition to the risk of flooding and rising water levels in roads, and the occurrence of rock and landslides, especially on slopes due to soil saturation with rainwater.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Strong winds with gusts exceeding 100 km/h are blowing, causing high waves and rough seas, especially in the depths of the Black Sea. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid sailing in the Black Sea during the rainstorm.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> During the night hours, the atmospheric pressure values rise in the center of the storm and the wind speed gradually decreases as the center of the storm approaches land, but it will lead to more rain bands moving towards northern Turkey, which portends more heavy rain.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> God knows best.</p>
