Localized downpours are expected in inland areas of the Aegean and Mediterranean regions, as well as southern parts of Central Anatolia, The Caspian Post reports via TRT Haber.

The weather alert covers several provinces, including Adana, Antalya, Mersin, Konya, Muğla and Osmaniye, where intense rainfall could lead to disruptions and hazardous conditions.
