The town has a total population of 25,000, and is expected to become a major commercial centre in concert with the development of the port city of Gwadar located nearly {{convert|60|km|mi}} to the east. Also, the port city of Chabahar in Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan Province is about {{convert|115|km|mi}} to the west of Jiwani. OverviewJiwani is located between Gwadar and Chabahar at the eastern end of the Gwadar Bay. The area around the bay includes an important mangrove forest extending across the international border, and is an important habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, especially the endangered Olive Ridley and Green Turtles. Plans to grant fishing concessions and offshore drilling rights are potentially a threat to the wildlife of the area. The population largely depends upon fishing. There are a number of export oriented fish freezing plants located in Jiwani. Jiwani is {{convert|34|km|mi}} from the Iranian border. Jiwani holds strategic importance in the region, located immediately adjacent to the shipping lanes to and from the Persian Gulf. This is the main reason that the town hosts a small naval base and an airport with a {{convert|5500|ft|m|adj=on|disp=flip}} runway. Jiwani was used during the World War II as an allied airfield and the remains of some airfields are still available. Another story linked to Jiwani is that Queen Victoria planned to visit the area to watch the "sunset" and a hut was built for her, which is now known as the "Victoria Hut". Whether Queen Victoria visited or not, the Victoria Hut is still maintained by the Pakistan Coast Guards up to the present day. Visiting the accommodation area of the airfield base used during World War II in Jiwani reveals many handwritten small stories and names of allied pilots. There is a water system which is now abandoned for use but is a marvel of civil works for meeting water requirements of the station. It used to store rain water in three stages in order to clean the water using its usual flow. The water was then pumped to the airfield, and also up to the Victoria Hut, which is nearly {{convert|5|km|mi|0}} from the water tank system. The Makran Coastal Highway now reaches Jiwani from Gwadar and also connects to Karachi. Jiwani Military BaseAccording to media reports, Pakistan and China plans to build a military base at Jiwani[1] ClimateJiwani has a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh) with hot and humid but dry summers and warm winters. Most rainfall falls in winter, although there is sometimes a little rain in the monsoon season (July–August) as well. {{Weather box |location = Jiwani |metric first = Y |single line = Y |Jan record high C = 31.1 |Feb record high C = 33.0 |Mar record high C = 39.0 |Apr record high C = 40.5 |May record high C = 45.0 |Jun record high C = 48.0 |Jul record high C = 42.5 |Aug record high C = 39.5 |Sep record high C = 41.1 |Oct record high C = 40.5 |Nov record high C = 37.2 |Dec record high C = 31.1 |Jan high C = 23.9 |Feb high C = 24.8 |Mar high C = 28.4 |Apr high C = 31.6 |May high C = 34.0 |Jun high C = 34.1 |Jul high C = 32.5 |Aug high C = 31.1 |Sep high C = 31.4 |Oct high C = 32.4 |Nov high C = 29.4 |Dec high C = 25.4 |Jan mean C = 19.0 |Feb mean C = 20.0 |Mar mean C = 23.6 |Apr mean C = 26.8 |May mean C = 29.5 |Jun mean C = 30.7 |Jul mean C = 30.0 |Aug mean C = 28.6 |Sep mean C = 27.9 |Oct mean C = 27.2 |Nov mean C = 23.9 |Dec mean C = 20.4 |Jan low C = 14.1 |Feb low C = 15.2 |Mar low C = 18.8 |Apr low C = 22.1 |May low C = 25.1 |Jun low C = 27.4 |Jul low C = 27.4 |Aug low C = 26.1 |Sep low C = 24.5 |Oct low C = 22.0 |Nov low C = 18.3 |Dec low C = 15.2 |Jan record low C = 3.9 |Feb record low C = 6.0 |Mar record low C = 11.0 |Apr record low C = 15.6 |May record low C = 19.0 |Jun record low C = 22.8 |Jul record low C = 21.5 |Aug record low C = 21.7 |Sep record low C = 18.3 |Oct record low C = 13.0 |Nov record low C = 5.6 |Dec record low C = 3.9 |Jan precipitation mm = 27.3 |Feb precipitation mm = 33.4 |Mar precipitation mm = 9.9 |Apr precipitation mm = 6.0 |May precipitation mm = 0.2 |Jun precipitation mm = 0.6 |Jul precipitation mm = 7.7 |Aug precipitation mm = 3.6 |Sep precipitation mm = 0.2 |Oct precipitation mm = 0.2 |Nov precipitation mm = 4.5 |Dec precipitation mm = 20.3 |Jan sun = 273.0 |Feb sun = 254.1 |Mar sun = 281.1 |Apr sun = 287.9 |May sun = 332.0 |Jun sun = 280.5 |Jul sun = 214.2 |Aug sun = 206.7 |Sep sun = 254.3 |Oct sun = 307.5 |Nov sun = 294.2 |Dec sun = 272.3 |source 1 =NOAA (1961-1990) [2] }} See also
