The citizens and residents of Bahrain could expect some rain today and tomorrow, said Bahrain’s weather officials yesterday, citing a numerical prediction model.

Today, the sky will remain cloudy with a “small chance” of rain at times, with northwesterly winds of up to 12 to 17 kt and 20 to 25kt.

Tomorrow also the sky will remain cloudy with a chance of rain at times and can expect winds of 8 to 13kt and 15 to 20 kt. On Sunday, the weather will be generally okay.

The Arabian Peninsula experienced “active to strong north-westerly winds”, especially during evening hours for the past few days, the Meteorological department said.

“From the weather maps, it is clear that the winds will shift to the southeast on Thursday, March 03, to reach moderate to active speed.”

“ This will create warm weather during daytime with varying amounts of clouds.” Citing numerical prediction models, experts pointed out, “it is now clear than an air depression in the upper air is affecting the region.”

"Thus, creating an opportunity for rain on Friday and Saturday, with the possibility of strong gusts, especially in the northern region leading to dust and big sea waves.”

The forecast, met experts say, might change according to weather model updates.

The expectation is that the north-westerly winds will regain control later today and continue until the middle of next week, creating moderate to partly cloudy conditions.

The Meteorological department has called upon citizens and residents to exercise extreme caution during weather fluctuations.
