Pervasive cold days are one of the abnormal continental events that have a lot of effects on environment and human activity. These events are created as a result of formation of complex atmospheric patterns. In these patterns, knowledge of how these atmospheric systems interact can be very useful in prediction of the similar conditions and reduction the contingency damages. On this basis in this present research, it has been tried to analyze the earth's temperature conditions and dynamic and synoptic conditions of different levels of atmosphere on 21 January 1964 as pervasive cold day in Iran by using data from minimum temperature gained in different parts of the country and also the atmospheric data from 1960 to 2010. In this day 98.4 % of the area has been affected by the cold. The results of synoptic and dynamic analysis of atmospheric systems that creating the cold of this day showed that created a blocking system in west and center of Europe and establishment a low height system in north of Russia and the opposite movements of these two systems to each other has caused that cold polar air from northern Scandinavia have moved to Iran. It has also been recognized that height factor has performed an important role in cold extremity in this day across the country.
