Title: Weather Patterns and National Preparedness: A Look at Iran’s Upcoming Climate Outlook
A Prolonged Dry Spell and Warmer Temperatures Forecast
A new weekly forecast from Iran’s Meteorological Research Institute indicates a period of specific weather patterns for the country. The analysis, covering a six-week period, points to a general trend of below-average precipitation and above-average temperatures across many regions, a situation that national authorities routinely monitor for resource management and planning.
Weekly Breakdown: Precipitation and Temperature Trends
According to the detailed forecast, the weather patterns will unfold as follows over the coming weeks:
Weeks 1 & 2: The initial period is expected to see rainfall largely confined to the coastal provinces of the Caspian Sea and the northeastern strip of the country, with amounts remaining below seasonal norms. Meanwhile, temperatures are predicted to be 1 to 3 degrees Celsius above average in the northwest, the Zagros mountain regions, and eventually across most of the nation.
Week 3: A shift is anticipated, with rainfall in the northwest and Caspian coasts expected to reach normal levels. However, areas along the northern Zagros will continue to see below-average precipitation, while the central, southern, and eastern halves of the country are projected to receive insignificant rainfall.
Weeks 4 & 5: The national average precipitation shows a tendency toward normal levels during this period. Yet, specific regions, including most of the eastern half (excluding the northeast), the central, and southern areas, are still forecast to experience below-normal rainfall.
Week 6: The outlook concludes with expectations for rainfall to fall within normal ranges across most of the country’s provinces.
A Consistent Warmth
A key feature of the forecast is the persistent above-average temperature. From the third week onward, the entire country is estimated to experience temperatures between 1 to 3 degrees Celsius above the seasonal norm. This extended forecast provides valuable data for relevant national bodies to assess and manage the implications of these climatic conditions.
