In Bursa, temperatures have reached 40-42 degrees, with wind speeds sometimes reaching 45-50 kilometers. However, the wind speed is expected to decrease after midnight, averaging 15 kilometers per hour.

In Karabük, the wind will change direction and become a hot wind, further drying the air. Temperatures are expected to drop to 34-35 degrees in the coming days.

There is a high fire risk due to strong winds in the Marmara and Aegean regions. The General Directorate of Forestry has warned citizens to be cautious.
