The Meteorological Directorate at the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications has issued a cold wave alert for the Kingdom of Bahrain, with temperatures expected to drop significantly due to an approaching polar air mass. Starting from the evening of Sunday, February 23, 2025, Bahrain will experience a sharp decline in temperatures, accompanied by strong northwesterly winds. The cold wave is forecasted to persist throughout the week, with temperatures expected to fall below 10°C, and wind chill making it feel even colder. Historical weather records indicate that Bahrain International Airport recorded a temperature of 10°C in February 2020, while the lowest February temperature ever recorded was 7.2°C on February 8, 1950. The Meteorological Directorate advises residents to take necessary precautions, dress warmly, and limit exposure to the cold. Additionally, people are urged to avoid maritime activities due to strong winds and rough sea conditions. Authorities will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed.
