    A thundery shower with strong gusts was reported at Hawar Island on July 22, due to convergence between humid air mass in the low level which was feeding for a few days from the Arabian Sea and other dry air mass from central Saudi Arabia.

    The last rain was reported at Bahrain International Airport was only trace and that was on July 28, 2008.

    The month was humid due to prevailing easterly to southeasterly winds that brought humid air to the Kingdom from the Arabian Gulf.
