How wind catcher/tower work in hot climate?

Wind catchers, also known as wind towers or wind scoops, are traditional architectural structures found in Middle Eastern countries, particularly in Iran. These structures are designed to capture and channel wind into buildings, providing natural ventilation and cooling during hot and dry weather.

In essence, a wind catcher is a tall, chimney-like tower with multiple openings at the top. As wind flows over the tower, it creates a negative pressure inside, drawing hot air out of the building and replacing it with cooler, fresher air. This passive cooling method has been used for centuries and is still relevant today, especially in areas with limited access to electricity or air conditioning.
