Comment (by dcf):

 19 months later, there's a very similar pattern in relay users from
 Turkey, jumping from 5k to 30k in about a day, on 2018-06-09. Is it
 another blocking event that's resulting in an illusory increase in the
 number of users? A Reddit user
 [https://www.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/8ute8y/tor_network_is_blocked_in_turkey/
 reports] on 2018-06-29 that Tor is blocked.
