🇧🇭Bahrain

Bahrain lies between 25°32′N and 26°20′N as a small archipelago in the Persian Gulf, around 33 islands totaling 786 km² off the east coast of Saudi Arabia. The terrain is mostly low desert plain with the highest point, Jabal ad Dukhan, reaching 134 m. The hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) shows strong maritime moderation from surrounding Gulf waters.

Bahrain ranks among the hottest countries on Earth, with extremely high humidity June through September and heat indices frequently exceeding 50°C in coastal Manama. July averages around 38°C daytime and 28°C nighttime, while January ranges from 14 to 20°C. Annual rainfall totals less than 80 mm, falling almost entirely during December–February thunderstorms. The northwesterly shamal brings summer dust storms. Late-summer sea-surface temperatures above 33°C create oppressive humidity. All freshwater comes from desalination, and rising sea levels threaten the low-lying archipelago, while barometric haze from oil flaring and Saharan–Arabian dust is common.
