Lots of snow forecast for the UK this week, 24 years after the end of snow.
The torrential rain, which started around 4 a.m. yesterday in Istanbul, affected many districts of the city. The roof of a building in Kağıthane was blown off by the storm, which increased in intensity.
People walking in Taksim Square had difficulty walking due to the storm, while the waves rose meters high on the coast, especially on the coast of Üsküdar.
The storm that hit the Silivri district of Istanbul in the early hours of the morning had a negative impact on life. As the waves rose several meters into the sea, workplaces on the beach were flooded. Trees were uprooted by the storm.
A report by the state-owned IRNA news agency said rescue teams recovered the bodies of five climbers from San Boran peak, some 300 kilometers (186 miles) southwest of the capital, Tehran. The injured climbers were taken to hospital.
The report said the nine-member team of climbers began their journey on Thursday despite a warning by local authorities about possible risk. The peak, the highest of the Oshtrankooh mountain range at 4,150 meters (13,615 feet), witnessed heavy rain and snow in recent weeks.
Iran has occasionally seen deadly avalanches. In 2020, a series of avalanches killed 12 people in a mountainous area north of Tehran.

Sizzling hot lava streamed down from the snow-covered slopes of Mount Etna late on Friday (November 24).
The tornado was captured in several recordings from various points of the city, showing impressive images that are already viral on social networks.
In its path, the tornado was also accompanied by large hail that damaged homes and cars after the impact.
Fortunately, so far the authorities have only reported material damage.

A satellite image of the world's largest iceberg, named A23a, is seen in Antarctica on Nov. 15
The world's largest iceberg has moved for the first time in 30 years after finally freeing itself from the ocean floor near Antarctica — and it could end up causing problems for wildlife.
Iceberg A23a "calved," or fell off the greater glacier on the continent, from the western side of the Ronne Ice Shelf and floated in the Weddell Sea before it ended up caught on the ocean floor in 1986. The piece of ice, at a size of 1,500 square miles and weighing nearly a trillion metric tons, is about three times the size of New York City.
The size makes it the world's largest iceberg in the world, only briefly losing the title to iceberg A76 before that iceberg split into three fragments.
The tornado took residents of western Michoacán by surprise on Tuesday. (@vozmichoacan/X)
The tornado formed late Tuesday afternoon in western Michoacán. After passing through a rural area, residents attacked the tornado with hail cannons to try to reduce its size and stop it from reaching the town of Peribán. Primarily used to decrease the severity of hailstorms, hail cannons are shock wave generators that are supposed to reduce the size of hail by disrupting the formation of new clouds, however there is limited scientific evidence to support their use.
