The Ankara Governor’s Office has issued a public warning about strong winds and localized storms anticipated across the city tomorrow. The alert, released via the Governor’s official social media account, is based on the latest data from the General Directorate of Meteorology Analysis and Forecast Center.
Strong Southerly Winds Expected Across Ankara
According to the statement, winds are expected to blow from the south across Ankara tomorrow, reaching strong levels and at times developing into full storms. This weather pattern could lead to various disruptions and hazards for residents.
Potential Hazards and Citizen Precautions
The Governor’s Office has urged citizens to be vigilant and take necessary precautions against potential adverse effects. These include:
- Disruptions in transportation: Strong winds can make driving hazardous and may lead to delays or cancellations in public transport.
- Roof collapses: Loose or poorly secured roofs are at risk of being lifted or damaged by the powerful gusts.
- Tree falls: Trees, especially older or weaker ones, could be uprooted or have branches broken off, posing a risk to property and individuals.
- Carbon monoxide poisoning from stoves and natural gas: Strong winds can interfere with the proper ventilation of chimneys, increasing the risk of carbon monoxide accumulation from heating systems.
Residents are advised to secure any outdoor items that could be blown away, avoid unnecessary travel, and ensure their heating systems are properly ventilated. Monitoring local news and official announcements for further updates is also recommended.
