Climate And Language

First of all, when we talk about any country, the first question that comes in our mind is “What is the climate of the country”. Of course, it is the climate that lets you plan your travel better. So, let’s talk about Bahrain weather. Rainfall is observed very less in this country. However, two seasons are observed here i.e winter and summer. On average, the temperature of Bahrain ranges from 18.1°C to 35.3°C from January to August and then starts decreasing whereas the average temperature in December is noticed. Summers are very hot here with high humidity at night. Winter season persists from December to February, while the summer season ranges from April to October. So, the patients should bring the apparels and accessories depending on the month they are visiting Bahrain and based on the climatic conditions as well. The Arabic language is the official language of Bahrain. Contrarily, English is still widely spoken as most of the country is populated from people coming all across the world to Bahrain.

Whereas, patients who are physically not injured or able to travel through local transport can use this public transport system. This system is controlled by the Ministry of Transport. After some time, a monorail network is set to be built in Bahrain. So, for the time being, the transportation for common people is bus or taxi. Buses are cheap and are still largely used for traveling purpose. Moreover, for air mode transport in Bahrain, there are three airports.
