The weather is expected to undergo three major changes in the coming days.

  • Saturday 29/02 to Monday 02/03: A mass of very warm air from over north Africa is set to engulf the central Mediterranean. This will bring warm daytime highs of up to 22 C and mild nighttime lows of around 13 C. The wind will light to moderate from the South. The sky will be mainly sunny but hazy due to airborne fine desert sand.
  • Tuesday 03/03 and Wednesday 04/03: A cold front associated with a low pressure system over northern Italy will bring the first rain in 50 days to the Maltese Islands. The warm air locally will clash with the colder air in the front, leading to the development of an area of showers. These showers may be heavy and thundery at times. Temperatures will dip to 15 C / 16 C highs and 10 C / 11 C lows on these two days. The wind will turn West to Northwest and blow very strongly on both days.
  • Thursday 05/03 onward: The rain over the previous two days will be a one-off event. High pressure will once again take over the western Mediterranean on Thursday 05/03, marking the start of another potentially long period of dry weather.

It-temp mistenni jgħaddi minn tlett taqlibiet kbar fil-jiem li ġejjin.

  • Is-Sibt 29/02 sat-Tnejn 02/03: Massa ta’ arja sħuna minn fuq l-Afrika se tgħatti iċ-ċentru tal-Mediterran. Din se ġġib magħha temperaturi massimi sħan sa 22 C u temperaturi minimi ħfaf ta’ madwar 13 C. Ir-riħ ikun ħafif għal moderat minn Nofsinhar. Is-sema se jkun il-biċċa l-kbira xemxi, imma xi ftit imdaħħan minħabba r-ramel fin fl-arja.
  • It-Tlieta 03/03 u l-Erbgħa 04/03: Front kiesaħ abbinat ma’ sistema ta’ pressjoni baxxa fuq it-tramuntana ta’ l-Italja se ġġib l-ewwel xita f’50 jum lill-Gżejjer Maltin. L-arja sħuna lokali se taħbat ma’ l-arja friska li se jġib il-front, u twassal għal iżvilupp ta’ massa ta’ ħalbiet tax-xita. Teżisti l-possibilita li dawn il-ħalbiet tax-xita jistgħu jkunu qawwijin u bir-ragħad għal ftit ħin. It-temperaturi se jonqsu għal ogħla ta’ 15 C / 16 C u l-anqas ta’ 10 C / 11 C matul dawn il-jumejn. Ir-riħ idur Punent għal Majjistral u jkun qawwi ħafna matul il-jumejn li huma.
  • Il-Ħamis 05/03 ‘il quddiem: Ix-xita matul il-jumejn ta’ qabel se tkun avveniment rari. Pressjoni għolja se terġa tieħu kontroll tal-punent tal-Mediterran mill-Ħamis 05/03, u b’hekk timmarka l-bidu ta’ perjodu ġdid ta’ nixfa li jista jdum ħafna.
