Winds and Temperatures to Shift in Bahrain as Cold Air Mass Approaches

Manama: The Meteorological Directorate at Bahrain's Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications has announced a significant weather shift, with winds expected to change direction and temperatures to drop in the coming days. The forecast predicts a temporary shift to southeasterly winds on Friday, bringing mild daytime and cooler nighttime conditions, before northwesterly winds return on Saturday. According to Bahrain News Agency, wind speeds will increase gradually, reaching their peak on Sunday, with very strong winds anticipated to cause dust in open areas and rough sea conditions. The Directorate warns of a cold air mass accompanying these winds, leading to a substantial drop in temperatures, with lows expected to reach 12 degrees Celsius on Monday. However, due to the strong winds, the perceived temperature will feel colder. The Directorate advises caution for citizens and residents, particularly those engaging in maritime activities. Wind speeds are projected to decrease by Tuesday, December 17. The public is encouraged to stay informed with the latest weather updates and heed any warnings issued.
