| dc.description.abstract | Continental windstorms are quite common in Turkiye, as well as in the Mediterranean basin. These storms have high frequency during hot and cold periods and transitional seasons. Turkiye is vulnerable to storms that are most effective in winter. When the distribution of the average number of stormy days during the year in Turkiye is analyzed by season, the season with the highest number of storms during the year is winter with a rate of 37%. The remaining seasons are spring (29%), fall (18%), and summer (16%). In the seasonal distribution of the storms that occur during the year, the winter season, which has the highest rate of occurrence, has an average of 4.9 days of storms. The spring and the autumn seasons have 3.8 and 2.4 stormy days, respectively. Storms have a high frequency during the cold season from October to May. Storms cause storm surges, floods, flash floods and roof blow-off disasters in the coastal zone of Turkiye, causing loss of life and property in the cold seasons. | |
