On 24 August 2015 intense rainfall episodes generated flash floods\udand landslides on the eastern Black Sea coast of Turkey. As\uda consequence of the heavy rainstorm activity over Artvin and its\udsurroundings (NE Turkey), 11 people died and economic losses totaled\uda million dollars. Over the 6 h of the event (from\ud05:00 to 11:00 UTC), total accumulated rainfall amounts of\ud136, 64, and 109 mm were measured in the Hopa, Arhavi, and\udBorçka settlements of Artvin city, respectively. This study\udcomprehensively investigates the meteorological characteristics of\udthose flash floods. In terms of synoptic mechanisms, the cutoff\udsurface low from the summer Asian monsoon settled over the eastern\udBlack Sea. After two days of quasistationary conditions of this\udcyclone, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) reached 27.5 °C\ud(1.5 °C higher than normal) and low-level moisture\udconvergence developed. In addition, transfer of moisture by warm\udnortherly flows from the Black Sea and relatively cool southerly\udflows from the land coasts of the Artvin district exacerbated the\udunstable conditions and thus played a significant role in the\uddevelopment of deep convective cells. Severe rainstorms as well as\udthe slope instability of the region triggered landslides and\udworsened flood damages in the Artvin area. This study supports\udconventional weather analysis, satellite images, and forecast model\udoutput to alert forecasters to the potential for heavy rainfall
