The climate of Gwadar (Pakistan)
Gwadar is a small port on the Arabian Sea located in the southwestern
part of Pakistan in the vicinity of the border with Iran. The city is
situated in the province of Balochistan in the Gwadar district. Gwadar
is a planned city and has been founded on the site of a former small
fishing village. This is because of its tactical situation on the
Arabian Sea in the vicinity of the Gulf of Oman. The city is an
important port for Chinese-flagged merchant shipping and is part of
the so called ‘string of pearls’. The city was built on a plain
between two hills, this causes the city to have a protected climate on
the leeward side. It offers picturesque views of small fishing boats
with the hills in the background. Gwadar has a warm desert climate
slightly influenced by the Arabian Sea. Precipitation figures are low,
Gwadar gets about 100 millimeters of annual precipitation. Summers are
warm. However, it doesn’t get as hot here as in places in the
interior. Temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius are uncommon. Winters
are cold. However, subzero temperatures are uncommon. The city does
get hit by dust storms every once in a while. The temperature of the
water is very pleasant all year round.

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:
