Practical weather notes for Tehran

Tehran sits at the base of the Alborz mountain range at a relatively high elevation, which gives it a semi-arid climate with far bigger swings between day and night temperature than a coastal city at a similar latitude. Summers are hot and dry, but evenings cool noticeably once the sun goes down, especially in the northern parts of the city closer to the mountains.

Seasons in Tehran

Winters can bring genuinely cold spells and occasional snow, particularly compared to much of the rest of the country, since the elevation and mountain proximity both work against the mild image many people have of the wider region. Air quality in Tehran can also worsen during still, cold winter days, when a temperature inversion traps pollution close to the ground.

Frequently asked questions

How often is the forecast updated?
The live weather data refreshes several times a day, so you're always seeing the latest forecast for Tehran.

Is the 14-day forecast reliable?
The first few days are usually the most accurate. Further ahead, the forecast mainly shows a trend rather than the exact weather at a specific hour.

What should I check before heading outside?
Look at the combination of rain, wind and feels-like temperature. A short trip can handle a passing shower, but a longer walk or bike ride benefits from a more stable stretch of weather.
