Bahrain is set to bid farewell to its longest and hottest summer in recent years, which lasted 93 days, 15 hours, and 37 minutes.

Astronomically, autumn will begin on Monday, September 22, 2024, at 9:19 PM, and will last for 89 days, 20 hours, and 43 minutes, astronomer Ali Al-Hajri confirmed.

Al-Hajri explained that the approaching autumnal equinox, caused by the tilt of the Earth’s axis, will gradually lower the sun’s altitude at noon — from 71°53′ at the start of September to 60°48′ by the end.

This shift will bring slightly cooler temperatures, with daytime highs dropping from 38°C to 35°C and nighttime lows falling from 30°C to 27°C, while humidity remains high.

Cooler nights typically begin to be felt in late October, with daytime temperatures declining more noticeably by the end of November
