The climate of Yazd (Iran)
Yazd is an old and large city located in central Iran in the Yazd district of which it also is the capital. Yazd is surrounded by the Dasht-e Kavir mountain range in the north, south and east. In the west the Dasht-e Lut desert and the Dasht-e Kavir desert, or large salt desert merge. Yazd is the center of the Zoroastrianism. This religion was at its peak a few centuries ago when it was the largest religion in the Persian empire. Nowadays it is a small religion with about 100,000 followers. A beautiful fire temple can be found in Yazd. Just outside the city several Zoroastrian buildings can be found. Nowadays most inhabitants are Muslims, the Amir Chakmak mosque is very beautiful. Yazd has a warm desert climate characterized by large differences in temperatures and very low precipitation figures. Winters are cold; subzero temperatures during the night are not uncommon. Summers are hot with temperatures around 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) during the hottest part of the day. During the night temperatures are around 25-30 degrees Celsius (77-86 degrees Fahrenheit). Because hardly any rain falls humidity figures are low.

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:
