Occasionally, heavy fog and cold air coming from the Safēd Kōh mountain range add to adverse weather conditions. From the middle of June to the middle of August, temperatures can be warm. During the rest of the year, however, the climate is moderate and considered to be ideal. Even in the summer months, there is generally no need for air conditioning or fans.
