As we head into the first week of October, Āstārā, Iran, is set to experience some rather interesting weather conditions. Let’s break down what to expect over the next three days.
The day begins under the shadow of near-total cloud cover, with light rain anticipated throughout the day. Temperatures will stay relatively mild with a maximum of 19°C (65°F) and a minimum of 17°C (62°F). Rain is expected, starting as light rain overnight and transitioning into more consistent showers by the morning hours.
Wind speeds will be moderately breezy, ranging from 12 to 18 mph (19 to 28 km/h). Precipitation chances hold strong at 100%, meaning you might want to carry an umbrella when stepping outside. Visibility should generally be good around 9 miles (15 km), although the rain might reduce it at times. Expect to see the sun setting at 6:27 PM after about 9 hours of daylight, complemented by a waxing gibbous moon.
Expect a continuation of cloudy and rainy conditions. The max temperature will drop slightly to 17°C (63°F), with a minimum of 16°C (61°F). Precipitation will remain a theme, and light rain with potential drizzles will persist across the day. Winds will be calmer at around 8 mph (13 km/h) but still from the north-northwest.
The chances of rain again loom large at 100%, maintaining the wet conditions witnessed on Day 1. However, drying may commence as the day progresses, especially later in the afternoon. The humidity will be notably high, oscillating around 76-79%, which could make it feel quite sticky.
Kicking off the weekend, we see some relief with a return of partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will rise slightly to a maximum of 19°C (66°F). Unlike the previous days, chances for precipitation dramatically drop to 0%, so it’s a great time for outdoor plans. Morning winds will be lighter, around 6 mph (10 km/h), offering a pleasant break from earlier gusts.
Visibility will improve further with up to 10 miles (16 km) observed due to the clearer skies in the afternoon. As we enjoy this clearer day, the UV index will be at a moderate level, so don't forget your sunscreen if you're outside for extended periods.
Residents and visitors in Āstārā should prepare for an initially wet and overcast start to October, but a welcome improvement in weather conditions is on the horizon for October 3rd. Whether you're planning to stick indoors during the rainy spells or enjoy the sun on Friday, keeping an eye on the weather forecast is always a good practice.
