century BC. Zahedan is a real student city with three universities and
a population figure of about 500,000. Another source of income for the
city is small industry. Zahedan has a desert climate which is slightly
influenced by the Caspian Sea. Because of this influence winters are
fairly mild and summers are not as hot as in other parts of the
country. However, during the summer temperatures may still rise up to
40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) during the hottest part of
the day. Precipitation figures are low all year round as you would
expect in a city with a desert climate. only during the colder winter
months small quantities of rain may fall.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
