Kerman Braces for Inclement Weather as Government Activates Crisis Response
Immediate Weather Alert Issued
The General Directorate of Meteorology in Kerman Province has announced a significant drop in temperatures, forecasting a prolonged period of cold weather. This shift is accompanied by a Yellow Warning (No. 37), signaling hazardous conditions expected to affect large parts of the province.
Details of the Forecast
According to the latest predictive models, from Tuesday afternoon onwards, the northern, eastern, and southern regions of Kerman will experience strong to very strong winds. These conditions are predicted to cause dust storms, a significant rise in airborne particulate matter, reduced horizontal visibility, and a marked decrease in air quality.
Authorities have indicated that in vulnerable areas, particularly the eastern half of the province, there is a substantial risk of sandstorms that could disrupt travel and transportation on major roadways. The public is advised to exercise caution and avoid non-essential travel in these regions.
Proactive Government Measures
The issuance of the Yellow Warning underscores the proactive steps taken by relevant national and provincial bodies to ensure public safety. This early alert system allows for the coordination of emergency services and ensures that necessary precautions are communicated to citizens in a timely manner.
The cold weather pattern is expected to set in from late Tuesday evening and persist through the middle of next week, with officials monitoring the situation closely to manage any potential impacts on daily life and infrastructure.
