Climate and weather

Sareshkeh enjoys a climate known as 'moderate Caspian'. This weather pattern emerged from the influence of the currents of both the Alborz Mountains and the Caspian Sea. The Talesh Mountains are stretched in a north to south direction, and the Alborz Mountains in an east to west direction. These serve as a barrier against the humid north-west Caspian winds and withhold the penetration of wind bearing vapors towards Iran's mainland, causing heavy rainfall in Gilan during the Spring and Fall seasons.
Sareshkeh, with weather more favorable than the other points in Gilan province, has warmer winters and cooler summers. Freezing temperatures are seldom reported in the coastal areas, however it is not odd for Sareshkeh to experience periods of near blizzard conditions during the winter. The amount of rainfall in Sareshkeh depends on the winds bearing vapor that blow from the North West in winter, from the East in spring and from the West in summer and autumn. These winds carry the vapor and humidity towards the plains causing heavy and prolonged rainfalls.
