A low pressure system will be moving across north Africa till Monday 27/01. A trough of low pressure associated with this will traverse the central Mediterranean on Sunday night. The warm air carried by this trough will pick up moisture as it passes over the Gulf of Gabes, developing a band of showers. The trough is also carrying abundant amounts of fine desert sand. This will mix with the moisture within the clouds, and fall with the rain. Rain is likely between 21:00 on Sunday 26/01 and 03:00 on Monday 27/01. It could be briefly heavy at times. Total rainfall is expected to range from 2.5 mm to 10 mm. The wind will be from the South leading up to the rainfall, but will turn Northwest overnight. The air will also be very warm ahead of the rain, but will cool significantly afterwards.

Sistema ta’ pressjoni baxxa tinsab għaddejjha minn fuq l-Afrika ta’ fuq sa nhar it-Tnejn 27/01. Front ta’ pressjoni baxxa abbinat ma’ din is-sistema’ se taqsam iċ-ċentru tal-Mediterran il-Ħadd filgħaxija. L-arja sħuna assoċjata ma’ din is-sistema’ se tiġbor ammont ta’ ilma minn fuq il-Golf ta’ Gabes, u tiżviluppa żona ta’ xita. Dan l-istess front qed iġorr ammont ta’ ramel fin minn fuq id-deżert. Dan se jitħallat ma’ l-ilma u jinżel max-xita. Iċ-ċans ta’ xita se jkun l-ogħla minn 21:00 l-Ħadd 26/01 sa 03:00 t-Tnejn 27/01. Din tista tkun qawwija kultant għal ftit ħin. It-total ta’ xita se jvarja minn 2.5 mm sa 10 mm. Ir-riħ se jibqa minn Nofsinhar sakemm tagħmel ix-xita, imbagħad idur Majjistral. L-arja se tkun sħuna qabel ix-xita, imma se tiksaħ ferm wara.
