When the distribution of the average number of stormy days during the year in Türkiye is analyzed by seasons, the season with the highest number of storms during the year is winter with a rate of 37%. The remaining seasons are spring (29%), fall (18%), and summer (16%).

The spring and the autumn seasons are stormy 3.8 and 2.4 days, respectively. Storms have a high frequency during the cold season from October to May. Storms cause storm surges, floods, flash floods, and roof blow-off disasters in the coastal zone of Türkiye, causing loss of life and property in the cold seasons.
