Forecast models from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and GFS show Ankara under a persistent high-pressure ridge with clear skies and light northerly winds, favoring daytime highs of 32–33 °C on August 4. Ensemble spreads remain tight because soil moisture is near seasonal norms and no strong advection of hotter air from the southeast is expected, keeping the 34 °C+ tail probabilities low. Recent upper-air soundings indicate 850 hPa temperatures around 20 °C, consistent with the market’s clustered 31–33 °C outcomes that together exceed 85 % implied probability. Any shift would require a faster-than-forecast strengthening of the ridge or an unexpected southeasterly flow, both low-likelihood scenarios in the next model runs.
