We used the total monthly precipitation and average temperature, sunshine hours , wind speed, relative humidity, minimum relative humidity and maximum temperature data of Chabahar and Shiraz stations monthly and in a forty- year time span. Mieczkowski tourism climate index was used for this research. The results of this paper showed that climatic conditions of Chabahar in cold seasons of the year (i.e. Autumn and winter) are suitable for tourism activities but during the warm seasons of the year (i.e.spring and summer) face limitations. According to tourism climate index, January and February are the best time of the year for tourism activities in Chabahar.
