Following a strong rainfall warning issued by the Meteorology Department yesterday, the torrential downpour intensified today in Lüleburgaz district of Kırklareli, negatively impacting daily life. The rain, which began around 2 PM, continued uninterrupted until 5:30 PM. Authorities stated that the rain could continue until nighttime.

Some streets and roads in the district were quickly flooded, making it difficult for drivers to navigate traffic. Residents described the situation as “disaster-like.”
