The vicious circle of Iran's environment; Adaptation, resilience and money.
Report by Mitra Shujai
After several days of torrential rain in some parts of Iran and flooding in rivers, the head of the National Center for Climate Crisis and Drought Management of the National Meteorological Organization announced on Monday, November 9 in an interview with ILNA that "the rain in Tehran will continue until tonight and stop tomorrow." According to "Ahad Tazif" on the northern shores of the country, the rain will continue in the coming days and will be especially strong in the east of Mazandaran and Golestan.
This news is good news for a country that suffers from drought and four fifths of its territory consists of desert and semi-arid areas, which some attribute to the "El Niño" phenomenon.
El Niño is a natural climatic phenomenon in the tropical Pacific Ocean that occurs irregularly and usually every two to 11 years.
