Bahrain To Experience Typical Summer Weather
The Kingdom of Bahrain is expected to experience typical summer weather during the upcoming Eid Al-Adha holidays, with daytime temperatures reaching the low 40s°C and nighttime temperatures dropping to the high 20s°C-closely aligning with the monthly average for June.
According to the Meteorological Directorate, wind speeds are expected to ease during the holiday period. Winds will generally be light and variable in direction, though they may occasionally become moderate during daytime hours.
In recent days, Bahrain and the wider Arabian Gulf have experienced strong northwesterly winds, sometimes reaching severe levels. This was due to the seasonal extension of the Indian monsoon low-pressure system, which affects the region during this time of year. This system typically brings about dominant northwesterly winds, locally known as Barah winds.
The Meteorological Directorate advises residents and visitors to remain updated on weather conditions during the festive period and to take necessary precautions during peak afternoon hours.

India: At Least 11 Dead In Stampede At RCB Victory Parade In Bengaluru, Reports Say
A stampede broke out as a tightly packed crowd celebrated the sporting win of their home cricket team in the Indian city of Bengaluru, resulting in multiple deaths, local media reported on Wednesday. AFP could not immediately confirm the death toll, which India's NDTV broadcaster reported to have left at least 11 people dead. The Times of India newspaper reported seven dead. An AFP photographer saw an intense crush of crowds as a sea of people crammed the streets. Broadcasters showed police carrying young children in their arms rushing away from crowds, who had seemingly fainted. One unattended young man was sitting in an ambulance struggling to breathe. Karnataka state's Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said he was not able to immediately confirm deaths. 'This is not a controllable crowd,' he said, speaking to reporters. 'The police were finding it very difficult.' 'I apologise to the people of Karnataka and Bengaluru,' he said. 'We wanted to take a procession, but the crowd was very uncontrollable… the crowd was so much.' Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered his condolences to the victims. 'The mishap in Bengaluru is absolutely heartrending. In this tragic hour, my thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that those who are injured have a speedy recovery,' the Prime Minister's Office posted on X. Cricket fans had come out to celebrate and welcome home their heroes, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, after they beat Punjab Kings in a roller-coaster Indian Premier League cricket final on Tuesday night. An AFP reporter said the Bengaluru team had reached the cricket stadium in the city, where celebrations had previously been planned.
