GLIDE Record	(881 of 8171)
Event: DR Drought Number: 2021-000089 Country: IRN Iran, Islamic Republic Location: Date (YMD): 2021-7-1 Time: Duration: Magnitude: Information Source: Iranian Red Crescent Society Comments: Drought conditions have affected a large region of Central and Western Asia, including the majority of Iran, with varying degrees of severity depending on the area and local magnitude of the event. In general, safe and sufficient water supply, agriculture and electrical power are at stake, while food security and households' income are also at risk in the most vulnerable areas. Long-term records show that the entire area receives no meaningful precipitation between June and October, with very little variation around this figure. As a result, the accumulated deficit up to May 2021 will persist until the end of the year, potentially worsening and spreading drought impacts throughout the region in the coming months.
