Arab Weather App - Turkey has been affected in recent weeks by the positioning of a very cold polar air mass for several consecutive days, during which it produced many cold air depressions, which led to the falling of large amounts of snow over consecutive days, covering large areas of the country.

According to Turkish media reports, snow covered about 86% of Turkey's area, in one of the widest snowfall waves of the current season, which had a positive impact on water resources, as these heavy precipitations contributed to filling dams and significantly raising water levels.

Weather experts indicate that the succession of cold air depressions and the extreme cold of the polar air mass played a major role in the continuation of snowfall and its geographical expansion, especially in the interior and highlands, reflecting a clear abundance of precipitation and a tangible improvement in the country’s water reserves.

These snows are of great importance to the agricultural and water sectors in Turkey, especially with the arrival of spring later, as the snowmelt is expected to contribute to boosting the feeding of rivers and dams during the coming months, God willing.

And God knows best.
