Climate change is alarming in Turkey! Experts predict this summer will be extremely hot.

According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, the global average temperature in January was recorded at 13.23 degrees. This marks the hottest January in recent years.

In Turkey, the average temperature for January rose to 5.5 degrees, which is 2.6 degrees above seasonal norms.

Prof. Dr. Şermin Tağıl stated that the effects of climate change are increasingly felt in Turkey, predicting that the summer of 2025 will be marked by drought and extreme heat.

Drought is no longer a past crisis but a direct reality connected to today and the future. This summer, serious problems may arise in providing drinking water in many regions of Turkey.

Climate prediction models suggest that the summer of 2025 could be one of the hottest and driest periods for Turkey in recent years. This situation could lead to significant losses in agricultural production.

Establishing systems to ensure access to clean water and implementing city policies suitable for climate risks are urgent needs that cannot be postponed.
