A plume of hot and humid air will cover the central Mediterranean for the next three days. Daytime highs will soar to 32°C from Wednesday 23/09 till Friday 25/09. Night time lows will be at 24°C. The high humidity will push real feel values to the 35°C mark at times. We are confident, however, that these will be the last consecutive days on which the daytime high will reach 30°C. History shows us that a maximum temperature of 30°C + occurred on only one or two days, if at all, in October. We are still expecting a sharp drop in temperatures on Saturday 26/09. A very strong wind from the Northwest will accompany it. This will be occur as a blast of Arctic air sweeps across Europe.

On a separate note, partly to variably cloudy skies with the possibility of a little light rain or drizzle from time to time will persist till Friday 25/09. Any rain will deposit fine desert sand. Be extra careful careful when driving, as roads will be very slippery at times, particularly at night.

Roqgħa ta’ arja sħuna u umda se tgħatti ċ-ċentru tal-Mediterran għat-tlett ijiem li ġejjin. It-temperaturi massimi se jitilgħu sa 32°C minn l-Erbgħa 23/09 sal-Ġimgħa 25/09. L-anqas billejl se tkun ta’ 24°C. L-umdita għolja se twassal biex it-temperaturi jkunu jinħassu daqs li kieku 35°C kultant. Ninsabu kufidenti, pero, li dawn se jkunu l-aħħar jiem konsekuttivi b’temperaturi li jilħqu 30°C. Il-passat jurina li t-temperatura laħqet 30°C + f’xi jum jew tnejn biss, jekk tilħaqhom, f’Ottubru. Għadna nistennew li t-temperatura tikkrolla nhar is-Sibt 26/09. Din se ġġib magħha riħ qawwi ħafna mill-Majjistral u se sseħħ kaġun ta’ arja Artika li se ddur l-Ewropa.

Fuq nota separata, sema ftit jew wisq imsaħħab u bil-possibilita ta’ xi ftit xita ħafifa jew irxiex minn ħin għal ieħor se tippersisti sal-Ġimgħa 25/09. Ix-xita tkun tal-ħamrija. Oqogħdu attenti aktar mis-soltu x’ħin issuqu, peress li t-toroq se jkunu jiżolqu ħafna kultant, speċjalment billejl.
