Bahrain likely to get thunderstorm, clod weather

The Kingdom of Bahrain is likely to experience unstable weather conditions starting from the evening of Sunday, January 5th, as accumulative clouds gather over Bahrain’s sky associated with thundery downpours and strong, high-speed gusts, according to the Meteorological Directorate’s Acting Director, Adel Daham.

Warning: The Directorate cautioned from strong, high-speed winds, thundery and rainy weather conditions and urged citizens especially drivers and seafarers to take the necessary precautions.

Clouds are likely to accumulate over the easterly parts of the Arabian Gulf on Tuesday January 7, 2014 driven by strong, high-speed north-westerly winds which bring a cold spell as temperatures drop below the normal monthly average for this month.

“This cold spell is due to an atmospheric low moving from the Mediterranean towards the northern parts of the Arabian Peninsula and the Arabian Gulf associated with a bloc of cold air,” the statement added.

The maximum average temperature for January is estimated at 30 degrees Celsius and the minimum average temperature. The average quantity of rain is estimated at 14.5 millimetres.
