Погода: Кешм, апрель

April here is really two months, and regulars put the hinge at about the 15th: that is when the heat starts climbing towards the July and August peak, so the first half is the comfortable half. Our row's 35.1C average - reading as 37C - is the second half pulling the month up. The compensations are dryness and water. Humidity sits at 44 percent, far below the Gulf's summer, so the heat is bearable in a way a coastal number does not usually suggest, and the sea is already 26C. Rain is a rounding error at 13.5mm across 0.8 days. When the coast gets too much, the standing local answer is altitude: Jebel Jais behind the town runs markedly cooler. The record: 23.1C nights, 11.4 hours of sun, an 11.8 kph wind and AQI 101.

Qeshm's forum doesn't soften August: it's genuinely intense heat, climbing into the high 30s C and occasionally pushing toward 40, with posters advising against more than about an hour outdoors in open areas during the hottest part of the day. The practical routine locals and visitors both follow is simple - stay in air-conditioned lodges and cars through midday, then head out to the Hara mangroves or other sights in the early morning or evening. Multiple posters recommended October, November or winter instead if the heat itself is the main concern.

Forum posters describe February as mild and genuinely good weather for southern Iran, with Qeshm specifically named as ideal this time of year - a real contrast to the extreme summer heat that makes the Gulf islands much less comfortable later in the year. Posters describe nearby Hormuz Island's best season as March-April or winter more broadly, a similar pattern that should apply reasonably well to Qeshm given their shared Gulf coastal climate. Posters generally recommend winter months for visiting Iran's southern islands specifically because of this heat avoidance, positioning February as a comfortable window for exploring Qeshm's geopark, mangrove forests and coastal villages without the punishing summer temperatures.
