SNOW: Heavy snowfall catches residents of the Black Sea region unawares.

Earlier-than-expected snowfall affected daily life in numerous provinces around the country on Monday.

High plateaus in the northeastern provinces of Gümüþhane, Trabzon and Rize, and the Central Anatolian province of Sivas received heavy rainfall on Monday.

Search and rescue teams are working to help residents that were caught unaware by the early snow.

In most parts of the plateaus, snow cover reached a depth of 30 centimeters.

Roads connecting the provinces to dozens of villages have been closed due to the heavy snowfall. In Trabzon alone, roads to 25 villages have been completely closed to traffic.

Temperatures dropped significantly in eastern Anatolia on Monday.

Temperatures in the eastern province of Erzurum were recorded at -5 degrees Celsius on Sunday night. The temperature in Ardahan was recorded at -2 degrees Celsius early Monday morning.

Heavy snowfall in Ardahan damaged crops.

Meanwhile, temperatures in southern Turkey continue to be warm.

The temperature in the Mediterranean province of Antalya was recorded at 34 degrees Celsius. Residents and tourists in Antalya are enjoying sunshine and beaches.

Antalya is expected to receive rainfall on Tuesday.
