The General Directorate of Meteorology announced that temperatures in Izmir will reach 42 degrees and that there will be water cuts in four districts. This situation highlights the effects of climate change once again.

Izmir Water and Sewerage Administration (IZSU) stated that the water cuts are due to drought and decreasing water resources. These cuts are implemented especially in areas with high water consumption during the summer months.

Experts warn that regulating body temperature becomes difficult in hot weather, which can lead to health issues. Therefore, it is recommended to drink plenty of water and wear light clothing.
