A small waterspout appeared near a beach in the Dikili district of Türkiye’s Izmir province. Approaching the beach with people, the waterspout caused panic but lost its power in a short time without causing any damage.
On the first day of Eid al-Adha, Istanbul residents headed to the beaches to escape the heat after performing animal sacrifices. Public beaches in Büyükçekmece and Küçükçekmece saw large crowds, with drone footage capturing the influx of holidaymakers.
The hot weather is expected to persist, with similar crowds anticipated at beaches and recreational areas throughout the holiday.
