Recent weather changes in Turkey have caused great concern in the country, Anadolu reported. Yesterday, the thermometer in some regions reached +50 degrees. According to experts, this is one of the highest figures ever recorded in history. The Ministry of Agriculture officially announced that starting today, the air temperature will rise by another 10 degrees and called on the population to strengthen precautionary measures.
Due to extremely hot weather, forest fires have also flared up in several regions of the country. In many cities and resort areas, smoke and flames are rising into the sky, causing concern among the population. In some resort areas, guests are being evacuated due to the dangers arising from the fires, and roads close to the forests have been closed.
Ecologists and engineers emphasize that such heat and fires are related to climate change. They state that helicopters and special equipment have been brought in to control the situation and extinguish the fires.
In this situation, citizens and guests of the country are being asked to be extra careful and act cautiously in areas with increased drought and fire risk. It is noted that this record heat and fires in Turkey pose a serious threat not only to nature, but also to human health.
