January weather forecast
Bahrain

January is the coldest month in Bahrain, a stark contrast to the heat experienced throughout most of the year. During this month, temperatures typically range from 15°C (59°F) to 20°C (68°F). With its coastal position, Manama, the capital city, experiences similar temperatures as the rest of the country, with no significant difference in climate.

Despite January being the coldest month, the temperatures are still relatively mild when compared to many other regions worldwide. The winter chill is tempered by the sea's warmth, which surrounds the archipelago, making the cold less severe than what one might expect during a typical winter month.

Rainfall in January is relatively higher compared to other months, although it still remains quite minimal. The average precipitation during this month is around 15mm (0.59"). It is the peak of Bahrain's rainy season, which extends from November to March. However, it's worth noting that Bahrain's 'high' rainfall would be considered very low in regions with a more temperate climate.

The weather in January is a stark departure from the weather experienced in Bahrain during December and a foreshadowing of the conditions in February. December is slightly warmer with temperatures ranging from 18°C (64.4°F) to 25°C (77°F). Moving into February, the temperatures remain similar to January, with the average temperature ranging from 15°C (59°F) to 22°C (71.6°F). However, February sees a slight decrease in rainfall, signalling the beginning of the end of the rainy season.

While Bahrain does not experience any snowfall, January does see some occasional winds, which, combined with the lower temperatures, can bring a refreshing change from the typically hot and arid climate of this desert nation.
