Climate Iran has a variable climate.
In the northwest, winters are cold with heavy snowfall and
subfreezing temperatures during December and January. Spring
and fall are relatively mild, while summers are dry and hot.
In the south, winters are mild and the summers are very hot,
having average daily temperatures in July exceeding 38° C.
On the Khuzestan plain, summer heat is accompanied by high
humidity.
In general, Iran has an arid climate in which most of the
relatively scant annual precipitation falls from October
through April. In most of the country, yearly precipitation
averages 25 centimeters or less. The major exceptions are
the higher mountain valleys of the Zagros and the Caspian
coastal plain, where precipitation averages at least 50
centimeters annually. In the western part of the Caspian,
rainfall exceeds 100 centimeters annually and is distributed
relatively evenly throughout the year. This contrasts with
some basins of the Central Plateau that receive ten
centimeters or less of precipitation annually.
