These conditions may lead to reduced horizontal visibility and air quality in East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, Kermanshah, the eastern strip of South Khorasan, northern Sistan and Baluchestan, and northern Kerman. In this regard, caution is advised when passing through mountainous areas, ensuring the stability of temporary structures and advertising boards, and avoiding parking vehicles next to old trees.
The Caspian Sea and the eastern Oman Sea are also rough and turbulent. An increase in wind speed and wave height in the coastal and offshore areas of Gilan and Mazandaran provinces is accompanied by a yellow weather alert. The risks of this alert include the possibility of drowning swimmers, tearing of fishing nets, and damage to fish farming cages. In these conditions, caution in recreational and fishing activities and the movement of light and semi-heavy vessels is essential.
In Tehran, the sky is clear, but strong temporary winds and reduced air quality are expected in the afternoon hours. Temperature fluctuations in Tehran will vary between 23 and 35 degrees Celsius.
