Is it cold for Iranian nomads in winter?

Iranian nomads are still cold in winter.

Iran is located in the southwest of Asia, belonging to the plateau area, and its climate varies with geographical location and altitude. In the desert area of Iran, the temperature can reach more than 40 degrees Celsius during the day, and it will drop to about-10 degrees Celsius at night. In mountainous and plateau areas, the temperature is usually below zero degrees Celsius in winter and over 20 degrees Celsius in summer.

Iranian nomads live in plateau areas. They usually live in tents and raise cattle, sheep and other livestock. Because the climate in these areas is cold and dry, they need to make a fire to keep warm in winter and wear heavy clothes and shoes to keep warm. Their diet is also dominated by hot food, such as barbecue, stew and hot tea.

Generally speaking, Iranian nomads do face a cold environment in winter, but they have become accustomed to this lifestyle and taken corresponding measures.
