Zahedan

Iran

Zahedan is projected to face significant climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes. The increase in temperatures is likely to elevate health risks, especially during hot months, impacting the well-being of residents. Furthermore, the city will experience more frequent heavy precipitation events, which could lead to flooding and associated damages. These heavy rainfall occurrences increase the likelihood of infrastructure challenges and waterborne diseases. The dual threat of extreme heat coupled with heavy precipitation illustrates the complex vulnerability scenario that Zahedan faces in the future. As the climate continues to change, these interrelated risks will demand attention and proactive planning to enhance the community’s resilience against these emerging climate hazards.
