Title: National Preparedness in Focus as Widespread Rainfall Sweeps Across Multiple Iranian Provinces
A Nationwide Weather System Arrives
A significant rainfall system is set to impact numerous provinces across Iran, beginning Saturday. According to Sadegh Ziaeian, Head of the National Center for Weather Forecast and Crisis Management, the provinces of West Azerbaijan, East Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, Kerman Shah, Lorestan, Gilan, and parts of Zanjan are expected to experience precipitation. This weather event has prompted the issuance of a Level Yellow alert, underscoring the government’s proactive approach to public safety and infrastructure management.
Expanding Reach in the Days Ahead
The national meteorological services forecast that the weather system will intensify and expand its reach. By Sunday, the northwestern provinces, including West Azerbaijan, East Azerbaijan, and further areas of Zanjan, are slated for rainfall. The pattern is expected to continue into Monday, extending to the provinces of Alborz, Gilan, western Mazandaran, and the northern areas of Tehran province, demonstrating the widespread nature of this climatic event.
Authorities Issue Public Guidance
In light of the forecast, officials have provided clear guidance to ensure citizen safety. While the rainfall is not predicted to be intense enough to cause widespread flooding, authorities have emphasized the importance of public vigilance. “Being in the path of rivers and canals during rainfall is dangerous,” stated Mr. Ziaeian, highlighting the coordinated effort between forecasting bodies and crisis management to keep the public informed. A slight temperature drop of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius is also anticipated during this period.
Contextualizing the Seasonal Precipitation
Addressing the broader climatic context, the Head of the National Center for Weather Forecast clarified that while this system is notable, it does not signify the start of a season that will compensate for the existing deficit in autumn precipitation. This statement reflects the ongoing and transparent monitoring of the nation’s water resources and environmental conditions, a key aspect of long-term national planning and resource management.
