In Adana, one of the hottest provinces of Turkey, the air temperature started to be above seasonal norms. With the heat wave coming from Africa, thermometers showed 42 degrees under the sun in the city in the last week of April. While parks and streets remained empty, some citizens went out and tried to cool off in shaded places under trees..
Yağız Yıldırım (20) and Abdulkadir Yılmaz (18), who were resting in Atatürk Park in the central Seyhan district, said that they went to other cities in the summer or preferred to swim in open pools. Stating that the temperatures started earlier this year compared to previous years, retired İbrahim Kalkan (68) stated that the summer season will be very difficult considering that the air temperature has already reached 42 degrees..
‘IT’S ADANA EVEN IF IT’S HOT’
80-year-old Celile Acır, who was pedaling in the sports area in the park, stated that Adana was a perfect city despite the heat and that she could not give up and said, “I will go to Izmir Çeşme to visit my daughter, both because of the heat and because I miss her. It is hot there at noon. I have been to many cities.” “But it has to be Adana. I would never give up on this city, even if it was hot. I stayed with my son in England for 6 months, but I loved this place,” he said.
