Naqshineh also referred to the expected rainfall in the coming days and said: "On Friday, rain showers are predicted in some areas of the northwest and the southern slopes of Alborz, the Caspian Sea coast, Kerman, and the northern and mountainous regions of Hormozgan. Additionally, on Saturday and Sunday, rainfall will continue in some areas of the northwest and west of the country."
Hazards from Wind and Dust Storms
In the next three days, relatively strong to severe winds are predicted in the eastern strip of the country, which may lead to dust storms in susceptible areas. The provinces of South Khorasan and Sistan and Baluchestan are also at risk of reduced horizontal visibility and decreased air quality. These weather conditions may lead to falling objects from heights, damage to temporary structures, and breaking branches of weakened trees.
In the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Oman Sea, the weather is also unstable, and increased wind speed and wave height in these areas are accompanied by a yellow marine weather warning. This situation may pose risks such as drowning swimmers and damage to small recreational and passenger boats.
In Tehran, it is also predicted that wind speeds will increase in the afternoon hours, and scattered rainfall will occur. The temperature in the capital in the coming days will range between 23 to 25 degrees, and it seems that the average temperature in the country has increased by about 3.3 degrees Celsius compared to last week.
