ISTANBUL, TURKIYE - JANUARY 24: (EDITOR'S NOTE: COMPOSITE IMAGE) A composite image assembled of two single photos from top to bottom dated January 25, 2022, January 24, 2023 showing photos of the Mahmutbey District of Trans European Motorway (TEM) in winter season with same frames taken from same angle to show the difference of drought conditions between winter seasons in Istanbul, Turkiye. In the city, where schools were closed, roads closed and teams struggled with snow in previous years due to harsh winter conditions, images reflecting the spring season are seen this year as the air temperature is above seasonal normals.
