The submission is correct. There are observational weather data for wind speed/direction, temperature, and „weather“ (unclear if this includes precipitation), available at: http://www.irimo.ir/far/wd/732-%D9%88%D8%B6%D8%B9-%D9%87%D9%88%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%AC%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%87-%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%87-%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A7%DA%A9-%DA%A9%D8%B1%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86.html?road=192 Forecasts are provided for "the coming days" which does not specify the exact day range (see here: http://www.irimo.ir/far/wd/701-%D9%BE%DB%8C%D8%B4-%D8%A8%DB%8C%D9%86%DB%8C-%D9%88%D8%B6%D8%B9-%D9%87%D9%88%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86.html?id=132). This data is split into single reports per city. Also the forecasts only provide information on temperature and general weather condition (including cloud coverage). It was not possible to detect whether there are wind forecasts provided. Thank you, Mohammad Hossein Khani, for contributing to the Global Open Data Index.
