A Look at the Health Care System in Bahrain
If you are moving abroad to live in Bahrain and are concerned about the quality of the health care you might receive there in the event that you become ill you are worrying for no reason.
Climate of Bahrain
Bahrain features an arid climate. Bahrain has two seasons: an extremely hot summer and a relatively mild winter.
During the summer months, from April to October, afternoon temperatures average 40 °C (104 °F) and can reach 48 °C (118.4 °F) during June and July. The combination of intense heat and high humidity makes this season uncomfortable. In addition, a hot, dry southwest wind, known locally as the qaws, periodically blows sand clouds across the barren southern end of Bahrain toward Manama in the summer.
