The hottest April day of the last 95 years was experienced in Adana. While the thermometers in Seyhan district showed 40 degrees, and in Yüreğir the temperature was 39.2, those who lived on the hottest April day in the district preferred the shade of trees to cool off.

THEY TAKEN SHELTER IN THE SHADE OF THE TREES AND SWIMMED IN THE RIVER

According to meteorological data, the air temperature in Yüreğir district of Adana was measured as 39.2 degrees. This value was the hottest day of April according to data from 1929-2024. The previous hottest day was measured as 37.5 degrees in 2008. Adana became the hottest province in Turkey with a temperature value of 39.2.

While the thermometers in Atatürk Park in Seyhan district showed 40 degrees, citizens who were overwhelmed by the heat cooled off under the shade of the trees. Some children preferred to cool off by swimming in the Seyhan River.

“IT WAS NEVER THIS HOT IN APRIL”

Stating that the heat in Adana started much earlier than in previous years and was above the seasonal norms, Ayhan Acarkol, one of the citizens, said, “The heat in Adana started really early this year, the temperatures came to Adana early due to climate change or climatic conditions. I have never experienced this in April.” “It wouldn’t be as hot. We usually had April rains, but now there is heat,” he said.

“IF IT IS NOT HOT IN ADANA, THE PEOPLE OF ADANA SAY IT IS GOOD”

Acarkol, who said that he is a pharmacist but came to the park to rest in the shade, said, “I am a pharmacist, but due to the heat, I finished my work and came to my friends in the park. We are trying to cool off in the green areas. If the green area does not stop us, we are planning to go to the pool tomorrow. In the middle of April, the temperature will reach 40 degrees.” It is a bit meaningful to see, it is really a great heat. We did not expect such a situation in April, we even thought that summer would come late this year, but unfortunately it came earlier. If Adana is not hot, the people of Adana say ‘the heat has come, only the people of Adana can tolerate the heat’. .

Metin Sökmen, who came to the park with his dog, said, “Adana is very hot today, we threw ourselves into the park with my dog. I think summer has come early. I expect it to be hotter this year. It looks like there will be scorching heat this year, there is a lot of drought around the world. Summer came early in Adana this year.” “The future seems to be very hot,” he said.
