A blanket of fine desert sand has choked the Maltese Islands over the past few days. An abundant amount of this was also deposited with the light rain on Monday 22/04. With a high of 27 C, Tuesday 23/04 was also the warmest day so far this year. How long until the fine desert sand moves away from the central Mediterranean? The fine desert sand will continue to be present in abundant amounts till around midday on Thursday 25/04. Further light rain is set to deposit the fine desert sand late on Wednesday 24/04. Washing your vehicles and windows, therefore, continues to be inadvisable. A change in the meteorological situation after midday on Thursday 25/04 will mean that the fine desert sand moves away from our region. This will mean the return of blue skies and clean air to the Maltese Islands. You are advised to wait until Friday 26/04 to clean your vehicles and windows.
