When you click on the map on the homepage here (http://www.irimo.ir/eng/index.php), it gives you 4 days forecast (including current day) for each region, but only temperatures for upcoming days, while precipitation is only expressed in terms like, Thunder Shower. Wind speed is only available for current day, as well as wind direction and humidity. Check example here (http://www.irimo.ir/eng/wd/701-Weather-Forcast-Esfahan.html?id=17556)

You can search for historic data here (http://www.irimo.ir/eng/wd/720-Products-Services.html#report_builder_form), but you have to provide date, time and station, one by one. The result include, temperature, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall and pressure. With a resolution of 3 hours for each day.

This site (http://dotic.ir/ also http://www.qavanin.ir/) provides a list of laws in Iran with search capabilities. Data can also be acquired from there on a CD, but not sure how the format is there. We found laws with 1394 as their date-stamp, 1394 is the current year in the Iranian calendar. Thus, we think data provided is up to date.

Iran has 10 digits postal codes for each and every place (see here http://www.post.ir/DesktopModules/Articles/ArticlesView.aspx?TabID=1&Site=postportal&Lang=en-US&ItemID=10337&mid=10768 and here http://www.postcode.post.ir/_Geography/Documents/postal%20code.%20PDF.pdf)

Here (http://eservice.postcode.post.ir/) you can search for codes by entering the full address. However, we could not find a database of postal codes and corresponding address. No coordinates are shown in all cases.

Iran National Cartographic Centre (http://www.ncc.org.ir/) seemed to be down when we tried to access it.

The map section of the National Geoscience Database of Iran (http://www.ngdir.ir/Maps/Maps.asp) is under construction. While the map here (http://www.ngdir.ir/thematicgeology/Geology.asp) is not up to scale, and doesn't show roads or administrative boundaries.

it seem only the http://air.tehran.ir/-its one city so data is considered available from the usa epa site http://www.tehran.ir/Default.aspx?tabid=12006
This site presents information on daily ambient air concentrations for carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter (PM-10) monitored in Tehran, Iran (overall and in twenty-two districts). The information is presented as good, moderate, unhealthy, very unhealthy, or hazardous, according to the Pollutant Standard Index formerly used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. the site didnt work at the 22-10-2015-date

87 Election Results


We checked the Guardian Council's website (http://www.shora-gc.ir/Portal/Home/), it is who approves or disapproves parliamentary or presidential elections candidates. It has a section for elections on the website, but only containing election laws and another elections news section, mainly about the council's activities.

Currently, Electoral Commission announces the results after the Ministry of Interior confirmation. We checked the site for the Ministry of Interior, the page for the presidential elections results (http://result-p.moi.ir/Portal/Home/default.aspx) seems to be down. Wikipedia article about 2013 elections in Iran cited the Ministry of Interior as their source, but didn't specify a link. We couldn't find any web presence for the Electoral Commission.

This link from MOI should also provide the elections results data (http://www.moi.ir/portal/home/default.aspx?categoryid=c2cf29ae-2e8e-4319-a926-1e311d44c6d1), but links there are not working, and gave us errors when we tried to access the presidential or parliament elections results. Only one of the few links that worked for one past election, gave us data in the following format (http://www.moi.ir/portal/Home/Default.aspx?CategoryID=a49af0c2-962d-4896-9dab-994263db42f4 - http://www.moi.ir/portal/File/ShowFile.aspx?ID=7201aaf9-13af-48a0-902b-513b34e9134d), which doesn't seem to meet the standards
