Usually, the weather during the months between June to
October is hot and humid. Having 42C temperature is not

enjoying visit. Since during the months of June to October,
hot weather is expected; therefore, lightweight cotton
clothes are advised to be worn. However, just like what we
see in television shows, people are also advised to wear the
long veil-like cloth to protect their face and eyes from the
dusts during sand storms but of course, weather forecasters
are attentive to help the people keep informed if the said
phenomenon is most likely to occur.
For those tourists who hate hot weather, worry no more,
because like the other countries near the Arabic Gulf and
for those countries lying in the Middle East, Bahrain also
experiences cold weather in winter. Actually, between the
months of December and March are considered cold weather
months. During the cold weather months, the thermometer
records temperature of 10C as the lowest and 20C as the
highest temperature. Weather forecasters usually remind
Bahrainis to bring their umbrellas because rainfalls also
occur even in winter times. Weather is unpredictable during
these months.
During these months, people are advised to wear clothes with
wool and thicker fibered cloth because just like what
weather forecasters say – 'we will be experiencing cooler
weather condition'!
For those who fear the rain and hotness of the sun, spring
and autumn days that begin during the end of March and ends
in mid of April are the most pleasant months with pleasant
weather. Fair weather is usual in these months.
These are the best months for strolling, shopping and the
like activities. Cotton and linen clothing are okay during
these months. It is one of the benefits of fair weather
condition!

neighboring countries are experiencing – sometimes the
weather is rainy, sometimes the weather is fair but one
thing is for sure, the sun kisses most often!
