Recent forecasts from multiple models show Istanbul's August 29 maximum likely near 25°C, with a modest spread reflecting uncertainty in cloud cover and shower timing. A northerly flow has already lowered temperatures after recent 29–30°C readings, while scattered showers and intermittent cloud expected through the period limit surface heating and reduce peak values relative to August climatology of 28–29°C. Ensemble guidance from sources such as the Met Office and regional models clusters between 24–27°C, with light precipitation risk on the 28th–29th creating the main variable that separates the closely matched 24°C and 25°C market leaders. Updated model runs and official station data the morning of the 29th will refine the final outcome.
