What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
Hot, and then really hot, and then mild for a brief time between December and February. It's hard to predict - but evenings after November until about March can be quite nice, and may even require a light jacket. During the daytime, you may see a low that may require to you wear a light jacket on an extremely cold day. It can occasionally rain during this season, and because the infrastructure wasn't designed to handle rain, the roads become totally chaotic. The embassy often floods when it rains heavily (which is maybe once a year). - Apr 2017
Great weather for 8 months of the year, chilly-ish and maybe wet December-January, unbearably hot July and August and some of September. You get used to the heat though. - Sep 2016
The weather is hot. Summers are unbearable, but if you can make it through July-mid November the weather cant be beat. - Nov 2015
Hot, hotter and hottest. Temperatures of 120F are not uncommon in the summer, and 100% humidity. The only nice month is mid-December to mid-January when it actually gets cold.And by cold I mean low of 50F. It rains maybe 3 times a year, during which time the streets completely flood because there's no such thing as drainage in this country, and traffic comes to a standstill. - Aug 2014
Cool and sunny Dec-Mar (50-70F), warm and sunny Nov-April (80-90F), hot and humid May-Oct (100-120F). Most families, local and expat, leave for July and August when it’s unbearable. - Sep 2012
It's very HOT and HUMID in summer. Quite miserable, particularly if you have to work outdoors. Okay in mid-spring through late fall. The winters are fantastic, however. For the three months it lasts, everyone is outside, and there are lots of outside activities sponsored by Bahraini and expat societies and clubs alike. - Apr 2010

It gets mild from November to February. July to October gets really warm. But the country is like under an AC blanket so not really affected. - Dec 2008
