weather

Bashagard experiences cold winters and hot, dry summers, but the climate is more tolerable in areas that are nearer to the mountains. Garlic from Boshagard is extremely high quality because it is aromatic, sharp, and pungent. Dates are one of Bashagard's most significant agricultural products. Pomegranates and figs are among the available seasonal fruits. Wild cherry (also known as "Bestel," which is especially crucial for treating anemia in medicine), bitter almonds, wild pistachios, and cumin are some of the other goods produced in the highlands throughout the various seasons. Wild edible mushrooms, also referred to as "Akhur" locally, are a highly favored and nutrient-dense food that flourishes in the highlands during the winter. One of the best honeys is Boshagard honey, which is of the highest quality exported to nations along the Persian Gulf, all over the world.
