A
typical squall line with heavy rainfall (≥100 mm in 24 h) occurred on 25 October 2014 in Antalya, southwest
Turkey. There was serious damage on residential areas, it has affected the
transport and has a negative impact on daily life. People sitting on ground
floor were evacuated and many cars was flooded water. This study examined
factors cause severe rainfall seen in Antalya. Squall line is considered to be
one of the reasons for the heavy rainfall and this is supported by the
satellite and radar observations. Also synoptic conditions were investigated in
terms of global instability indices, weather stations observations of the
Turkish State Meteorological Service, convective available potential energy
(CAPE) and sounding (the vertical profile of temperature and variables in the
atmosphere over one goegraphic location). In the study performed, 280 mm of
rainfall occuring in the 8-hour period has been found the result of the squall
line.
