Both cities are named after the ancient province of Kirman, but only Kerman is actually located there.  KermanKerman is an ancient city founded by the Sasanians. It is located in the ancient province of Kirman, but it didn't adopt the name Kerman until much later.  KermanshahKermanshah was named by Bahram IV, the Sasanian king of Iran (388-399), who used to be the governor of Kerman province.  |

Kerman for the lack of shitty spring seasonal lag

Kerman
Kermanshah's crummer diurnal ranges, chilly springs, and abrupt Sept-Oct transition are wack, even despite the better precipitation. Kerman's winters aren't as cold either.

Kerman. Sunnier, drier with better winter highs.

Kerman. Warmer winters, 'cooler' summers. Those record lows though are astounding for a place that averages 12C in winter and also for an area that seems to be on the same latitude as Kuwait and Basra! Are they even legit!? 😕

Are they even legit!? 😕 Kerman is at an elevation of almost 1800 m, while Kermanshah is at something more like 1400-1500 m. Kerman is also closer to the Asian interior and would in theory be more susceptible to severe cold waves after adjusting for altitude and radiational cooling at night. |

Actually a tough choice... the wetter climate in an otherwise dryish country wins I suppose.... both places have hot summers for the altitude. And some s'house record lows !
Kermanshah.

Kerman is also closer to the Asian interior and would in theory be more susceptible to severe cold waves after adjusting for altitude and radiational cooling at night. Yeah I know, but for a place that is quite far south, -30C would seem bizarre. 1400-1800m isn't that crazily high anyway. Maybe at 3000m, -30C would seem reasonably plausible for some location on Basra's latitude. Not to mention the many mountain ranges in the north that could block the cold from the north? I don't know. Anyway our own Blue Mountains are 1100m at their highest and they don't get colder than -10C (and I know that we have an ocean between us and Antarctica, but still). |

I guess Kermanshah- worse temps, but better precipitation makes it marginally win IMO
