In 1955 just after construction of first asphalt paved runway a new terminal building (Current Terminal 1) for both international and domestic flights was designed and constructed. Among the designers of the initial modern buildings of the airport was the famous architect William Pereira.[3][4]

The new Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) was scheduled to open in 2004 with international flights gradually changing from Mehrabad starting with flights to countries bordering the Persian Gulf. After IKA's initial opening in May 2004, due to complications, it was not until the end of 2007 that the plan to move the majority of international flights to the new airport was completed.[5] All international flights have now been moved to IKA.[6]

In June 2020, Mehrabad Airport announced a new terminal to replace Terminals 4 and 6. The new terminal is to have 20 gates (10 with jetbridges) and a new CIP Terminal. It is not known when construction will start.

Mehrabad Weather Station


Mehrabad airport synoptic weather station officially started its activity with the beginning of World War II in order to provide weather reports. This station is an airport and upper atmosphere synoptic station, whose synoptic activity includes measuring, recording and reporting various atmospheric parameters such as wind direction and speed, cloudiness, detecting various atmospheric phenomena, etc. in the form of synoptic, meter and spatial reports. and it is provided to the watch tower and at the same time it is sent to the forecast center of the country's meteorological organization for review to issue a forecast.

In the upper atmosphere section, a radiosonde with a balloon is released in the sky in two shifts at 00:00 and 12:00 hours (UTC) to check the atmospheric conditions in the upper atmosphere. The information obtained from Radio Sound is drawn by the plotter on the Scioti map. Using this map, parameters such as water vapor pressure, saturated vapor pressure, potential temperature, mixing ratio, relative humidity, wet temperature, equivalent temperature, equivalent potential temperature, virtual temperature, pressure model (L-C-L) and also Obtained indices (SI, KA-I) which are criteria for detecting instability and cumulonimbus cloud formation and occurrence of lightning.

Climatic characteristics in the general scale of the region, like other parts of Tehran province, are affected by the northern, northwestern and western systems, especially the southwestern, and its atmospheric precipitation, which starts from the months of November and December and continues until the middle of May, in the cold seasons of the year. It is a function of the activities of the above systems. In terms of micro-climatic features, the region has some index coordinates that are mentioned: In terms of climate, Tehran region is influenced by the Alborz highlands, which due to the temperature difference especially at night and the cooling of the northern highlands at night, a gentle wind blows from the mountain to the plain (north to south) and from the plain to the mountain (south to north) during the day. Regarding the summer rains in Tehran, it can be said that sometimes the collision of two hot southern and relatively cold and humid northern air masses that take place in the upper levels of the Alborz region, causes very active boiling clouds in the region. appeared and caused severe downpours that are often accompanied by floods. Some of the climatic characteristics of the Mehrabad synoptic station in the statistical period of 1971 to 2001 are as follows: The average annual rainfall is 238.9 mm and the years 1995-96 and 1996-97 are the wettest and driest years with rainfall of 353.6 and 92.9 mm, respectively. Of the total annual rainfall, the amount of 176.0 mm (73.7 percent) in the first half of the agricultural year (autumn and winter) and the amount of 57.9 mm (24.2 percent) in the third quarter (spring) and the rest 5.0 mm (1.2 percent) is also distributed in the summer season. The highest monthly rainfall record in Mehrabad was 119.4 mm in March. The absolute minimum and maximum temperature is -10.0 and 42.6 degrees, respectively, and the annual average is 17.7 degrees Celsius. July with an average high of 36.4 degrees Celsius and January with average low of 0.7 degrees Celsius are the hottest and coldest months of the year, respectively. The sum of thermal units above zero degree days and the sum of thermal units above ten degrees days have been obtained. The average number of freezing days with thresholds of zero, -4 is 50, 12 days respectively. The annual average relative humidity is 41% and the maximum and minimum averages are 56% and 28%, respectively. The total annual evaporation from class A pan is more than 2500 mm. January and July have the lowest and the highest amount of evaporation, respectively. The average annual sunny hours during the statistical period is 3025 hours. The prevailing wind in Mehrabad, which is calculated based on three observation times (morning, noon and evening), is in the west direction and its average is 5.5 meters per second. The highest wind speed in Mehr Abad is 25 meters per second from the northwest and the average wind speed is 2.6 meters per second.[12]

The weather station was established in 1942. Its elevation is 1190.8 meters above sea level and it is located inside the runway of Mehrabad airport and its distance to the border of the city is 8 km. The main watershed for Mehrabad is the Kan Creek.It has a dry (Silianinov co-climate) climatic feature and the soil type is sedimentary and the main vegetation type of the area is hand-planted trees.[12]
