🇹🇷 Flash Flood in Foça, İzmir Province, October 23, 2025

🌧 On October 23, a torrential downpour triggered a sudden flash flood in the town of Foça, western Türkiye. Within just an hour and a half, 144 mm of rain fell — nearly a month’s worth of precipitation. Floodwaters inundated streets, basements, and ground floors of buildings.

Local authorities reported disruptions to transportation and public utilities. Rescue teams assisted residents in evacuating flooded areas.

🌍 Meteorologists link the extreme rainfall to increasing weather contrasts and the warming of the Mediterranean Sea, which is contributing to a rise in such intense rain events across Türkiye’s coastal regions.
