Iran is experiencing such a severe drought that the nation’s president is warning the capital city of Tehran may have to be evacuated.

The Guardian reported, “In Tehran, only 1mm of rain has fallen this year, a once-in-a-century event (the capital’s average annual rainfall between 1991 and 2000 was 350mm, [13.8 inches]). All this comes on top of five previous years of drought. The second half of November is normally the snow season in the capital.”
