eehum: Tehran 14:00pm – TV’s channel 2 is showing images of people voting in different cities across the country. Images of city of Tabriz [north-west of Iran] show a long queue of people waiting to vote.

I would like to ask my friends to find out the temperature in Tabriz. There is no doubt that these films are taken in a warm season.
Later in this blog: A friend told me that Tabriz is almost 8 degrees celcius above zero [which is indeed cold and not suitable for summer T-shirts].
