Bahrain will begin its winter solstice hours at 12.47am on Thursday, marking the beginning of the day when we have the fewest hours of daylight, according to timeanddate.com.
Winter solstice, which marks the shortest day of the year, is observed on December 21-22 around the world.
Bahrain will only experience 10 hours and 30 minutes of daylight with sunrise at 6.21am and sunset at 4.51pm.
The winter solstice occurs in Bahrain when the North Pole reaches its maximum tilt away from the sun.
Countries like the UK, the US and most of Europe are marking their winter solstice today (Wednesday, 9.47pm).
This day occurs twice annually across the globe, once in the northern hemisphere and once in the southern hemisphere.
During the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, the further north you travel the darker it will be.
On December 21, 2022, the North Pole will remain dark for the entire day.
From this day onwards, the days will gradually grow longer until the summer solstice six months later, following which the days will again begin to shorten.
