The Study of Climatourism Conditions of Urban Places in Sistan and Baluchestan Province

This article attempts to examine the appropriate time for tourism in the cities of Sistan and Baluchestan province, based on the physiologic equivalent temperature index (PET). The PET index is one of Rayman's software outputs, which is used to explain the tourism climate in Zahedan, Khash, Saravan, Zabol, Iranshahr and Chabahar cities. First, daily data (10957 days), air temperature, cloudiness, water vapor pressure, wind speed and relative humidity of meteorological stations of these cities were collected (1986-2015). The results of RayMan inferred in the form of daily climatic calendars. According to the monthly percentage of non-stress days (thermal comfort), the results showed in Apr (Zabol and Iranshahr, 67%), May, June, Jul and Sept (Zahedan, 28-90%), Oct (Saravan 87%), Nov (Iranshahr 87%), Des, Jan, Feb and Mar (Chabahar, 42-95%) have the best conditions for the presence of tourists. The best conditions for tourism in Zahedan (May and Sept), Khash (May, Sept and Oct), Saravan (Apr and Oct), Zabul (Apr and Sept), Iranshahr (Apr and Nov) and Chabahar (Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar and Apr) are estimated to have the highest percentage of non-stress temperature days.
