Just to let people know there have been announcements made today in Calis, Fethiye, Ovacik and Olu Deniz regarding extreme high winds through the night and tomorrow. The schools are also closing for the day. Batten down the hatches! ;)
-
Hope everyone stays safe and that there is no structural damage :)
-
It has been gale force in ovacık for the last hour according to my friends there.
-
Uzumlu has been split in half. But that's normal ;)
-
Nothing as yet in Tasyaka. Infact have just been on our balcony to bring the washing in and it is very mild and not even a breeze...No doubt we have it coming though. Pollen everywhere in the morning.
-
Shaka Cam might be interesting for those of us not there tomorrow - well placed palm trees :)

-
It's fine at the moment, I just watched a woman go outside and light a fag with ease :D
-
Just been out to batten down, not a breath of wind here yet.
-
Calm here in Calis at the moment, but something is causing the electricity to drop every ten minutes or so!!
-
But the Lecci is still on !
-
Those palm trees were 'getting laldy' though, Keith.
-
eerily calm here at the moment - hope the internet stays on :)

a couple of showers.... 8)
-
Leccy off in Kaya, and flickering a bit here in babataşı
Just read tinkermans post - I have been looking at all the good forecast sites and none are showing higher than 28 kt gusts.
-
Palm trees barely moving here but the lights are dipping every so often nothing on any of the forecasts I've seem about winds getting up.
We shall see.
-
Just had a look at the forecast for Rhodes - wind gusts to 30- 40 knots. so maybe the warning is just playing safe in case it increases over the open sea.
-
Just come back from Calis to Gunlukbashi, temperature getting really warm and wind starting to pick up, not bad though as yet
-
Temperature rising doesn't sound good :(
-
Just took the dogs for a walk, is pretty warm outside, really notice it as you walk out the door. Bit of a breeze but nothing else.....Yet.
-
There was a forest fire too, luckily it was put out before the winds could make it any worse.
-
Normal weather for March? Warm Scirocco winds, the first time we noticed it 2003 and we said to a local "strange warm windy weather" he replied Dreprem coming!!!! it never did.
My name is Michael Fish ;)
-
My patron must be expecting it bad, has just been out and locked up the chickens which have been out all night for the last week. Pity really, was hoping the damn cockerill would be blown far away
-
23.5 deg c. and still increasing - may need the air con tonight.
-
Just checked Shaka again and its a bit breezy but a couple having a smoke outside don't look at all windswept. They're clearly expecting something because all the chairs etc were taken in late afternoon.
-
Just driven back from Calis to Ciftlik temp 26 degrees and rising, lights flickering.
-
Eerily warm here in Gunlukbasi. temperature 23c but the pressure has dropped from 1010mb to 998mb. A big drop which heralds a lot of wind. However, I have been on 4 forecast sites and none of them mentions severe weather, even Poseidon System which gives an animation for the next 5 days shows very little, in fact it shows that Saturday is going to be the wettest day. Weather forecasting is not an exact science.
-
And that from our Geography teacher (retired) ;)
-
Turkish Airlines have just posted on Facebook that due to high winds in Istanbul, some flights may be delayed or cancelled.

Well I hope its a storm in a teacup then.
We lit a fire earlier and its now so hot in here lol.
Looking out of the window right now there is hardly any wind at all
-
And the award for "spoke too soon" goes to...
:D
-
The garden furniture has started to leap around the garden - winds howling and squalling now :D
-
Can't believe your in Fethiye and its stormy and i'm in Gunlukbasi and nothing really happening.
Hope it isn't a case of spoke to soon.
-
Post at midday tomorrow Alan :)
Stay safe all CBFers in Fethiyeville
-
It's gone all quiet again now; its like an oven out there, really warm 8)
-
Hope it was an uneventful night for everyone, weather-wise of course.
-
Uneventful night, still really calm and very warm this morning but overcast. Chris is working in the Charity shop this morning and needs Tsunami reassurance !
-
Looks like the really bad weather hit the Bodrum area, it seems that the warnings were to be on the safe side.
Most of the forecasts for the Fethiye region got it near spot on for last night and this morning.
-
The earth didn't move for me or I slept through it lol overcast and warm so far.
-
I think Hisaronu and Ovacık got the brunt of it with very strong winds and power off for a couple of hours. Just after 1 am the winds really picked up in Calis I stayed awake for a bit as I thought I was going to lose my water tank... then fell asleep. It was a better to be safe than sorry kind of warning, and to let parents know that the schools will be closed.
-
Sunnyd keep those warnings coming, we don't always hear or understand those that are put out on the public address annoucements. So thanks even though - this time - we escaped any problems.
-
Ditto.
