After a few days of bright sunshine, the weather is set to become gloomy again. A band of clouds associated with low pressure over western Europe will drift towards the central Mediterranean overnight. Upon encountering the very stable atmosphere above the central Mediterranean, the clouds will stall. Local high pressure will inhibit any further development of the clouds. As a result, the development of rain-producing clouds is impossible. This means a grey sky for the Maltese Islands on Friday 31/01 and Saturday 01/02. The West wind will pick up on Sunday 02/02. This will help clear away some of the clouds, making for a partly cloudy sky till Monday 03/02. A sunny sky will return from Tuesday 04/02.

Wara ftit jiem ta’ xemx, it-temp se jerġa jiddaħħan. Massa ta’ sħab abbinata ma’ pressjoni baxxa fuq il-punent ta’ l-Ewropa se tersaq lejn iċ-ċentru tal-Mediterran billejl. Is-sħab se tistalla fuq iċ-ċentru tal-Mediterran, hekk kif jilħaq l-atmosfera stabbli ta’ madwarna. Pressjoni għolja lokalment se tipprevjeni dan is-sħab minn li jiżviluppa aktar, u b’hekk huwa impossibbli li jinħoloq sħab tax-xita. Dan ifisser sema griż għal Gżejjer Maltin nhar il-Ġimgħa 31/01 u s-Sibt 01/02. Ir-riħ mill-Punent se jerġa jqum xi ftit il-Ħadd 02/02. Dan se jgħin biex is-sema jiċċara daqsxejn. It-temp ikun ftit imsaħħab sa nhar it-Tnejn 03/02. Sema xemxi jerġa jirritorna minn nhar it-Tlieta 04/02.
