The ongoing gloomy weather in Bahrain during the holy month of Ramadan has brought much-needed relief to those observing the fast. The combination of wind, rain, and cold temperatures has provided respite to individuals who are fasting and working outdoors.

Since the start of Ramadan, Bahrain has experienced a series of rainy days with thunderstorms and chilly winds. These weather conditions have proven advantageous for fasting individuals, particularly those engaged in physically demanding tasks under the sun.

According to the Ministry of Transport and Telecom (MTT), Bahrain is expected to see more rainy days throughout the entire week, extending from Tuesday to Saturday.

Excitement online

The news has generated excitement on social media, with many expressing gratitude for the respite provided by the rain. Several citizens have taken to social media to share posts from the MTT, expressing enthusiasm about what could potentially be the rainiest year in a long time.

They are grateful for the ease and comfort that the gloomy weather has brought to their fasting routine. Fahima Suman, one social media user, stated, “For the past few years, we have endured fasting during the summer, and I distinctly recall feeling thirsty all day due to the scorching heat, particularly while attending school. However, this year, the weather has been exceptionally pleasant.”

Extremely grateful

Seher Ali, another social media user, expressed relief, saying, “I am extremely grateful for the weather, and it seems that this year we have experienced significantly more rainfall compared to previous years. We plan to celebrate Iftar with our family at the park.” Kainat Raza, echoing the sentiments of many, exclaimed, “This weather during Ramadan is truly a blessing.

I now have two advantages: shorter working hours and the rainy weather.” Farheen, yet another social media user, shared her optimism, stating, “This is just the beginning. In the coming years, the weather during Ramadan will continue to improve, and soon we will experience Ramadan in December.”
