However, travelers should be prepared for significant daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations.

The region is characterized by hot and dry summers, when rain is almost non-existent, and cold winters that bring frosts and snow. Transitional periods, spring and autumn, feature moderate and changeable weather, making them very attractive for sightseeing and exploring the local culture.

During this period, night temperatures often drop to -5...-6°C, while the absolute minimum can reach an impressive -12.3°C. Daytime figures in winter rarely rise above +5...+7°C, creating a truly bracing winter atmosphere.

The summer season brings real heat to the region, peaking in July and August. The average daily maximum during this time ranges between +33...+34°C, and on particularly hot days, the thermometer can exceed +40.4°C. Notably, even in the hottest months, nights bring relief, cooling down to +18°C, which ensures a comfortable sleep.

Peak precipitation is observed in February and March, with about 67 mm of moisture per month. In total, there are approximately 76 rainy days per year, which contribute to the fertility of the local lands.

Winter months bring not only rain but also snowfall. On average, the city records about 13 snowy days a year, mainly from December to February. During this time, the surroundings are often blanketed in a picturesque white cover, giving walks a special charm, although caution on the roads is required.

Summer is a time of prolonged drought. From June to September, rain becomes extremely rare; in July and August, precipitation levels drop toward zero. This dry season guarantees tourists cloudless skies and no need to constantly carry an umbrella during summer holidays.

When packing for Bahar, it is important to consider the season and significant temperature swings. For a winter trip (December–February), a warm down jacket, scarf, hat, and gloves are essential. Given the possibility of frosts down to -12°C, thermal underwear is also recommended. Additionally, make sure to bring reliable footwear with non-slip soles for comfortable walks along snowy streets.

If your trip to Iran is planned for the summer, choose light clothing made from natural fabrics, such as cotton or linen, to better handle the 40-degree heat. Don’t forget sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses—the sun in this region is very strong. However, even in summer, it's worth bringing a light sweater or windbreaker for evening walks, as temperatures drop noticeably after sunset.

During the shoulder seasons (spring and autumn), it’s best to follow the principle of layering. The weather can change quickly, so the ability to easily add or remove a layer will be very convenient. Given the possibility of precipitation, a compact umbrella or raincoat will be a faithful companion at any time of year except the height of summer.
