A strong storm accompanied by heavy rain and thunderstorms has severely disrupted daily life in Istanbul, leading to transportation disturbances and property damage across various neighborhoods. The intense rainfall reduced visibility on highways, while flooding occurred in tunnels and low-lying areas that caused traffic slowdowns in numerous regions. Furthermore, the storm created hazardous driving conditions on bridges and coastal roads, prompting government authorities to warn residents to exercise caution, maintain safe distances, and prefer public transportation.

According to warnings from the Meteorological Authority and the city's governor, the storm intensified on Sunday evening, making it difficult for pedestrians to navigate, while motorcyclists struggled to maintain their balance due to the strong winds. Lightning illuminated central neighborhoods, adding to the hazardous conditions. As the storm wreaked havoc, many neighborhoods reported property damage, with notable incidents including the roof of a building being torn off in Esenyurt, debris scattered on roadways, but fortunately no injuries were reported. Additionally, parts of facades and roofs fell in areas like Bağcılar, further exemplifying the storm's impact.
