The first widespread rain of the season could affect the Maltese Islands at some point next week. Take advantage of the fine weather and dedicate some time to prepare your home for the rain! Some points:

– Fix any cracks in the walls and roof
– Check to see if your roof’s coating needs to be resealed
– Take a look at your gutters to make sure that they drain well
– Check indoors for any signs of leakage
– Make sure that doors and windows seal properly (especially wooden ones as they tend to contract in summer)
– Clear any gutters that take water away from your home
– Clear any debris around your home to prevent flooding and damage in strong wind
– Clean wells
– Prepare a place to shelter animals

L-ewwel xita mifruxa tas-sena tista taffetwa lill-Gżejjer Maltin f’xi waqt matul il-ġimgħa li ġejja. Ħudu vantaġġ tat-temp sabiħ u ddedikaw xi ftit ħin biex tippreparaw id-dar tagħkom għax-xita! Xi punti:

– Iċċekjaw il-ħitan u soqfa għal xi xquq
– Araw jekk hemmx bżonn tirranġaw il-membrane ta’ fuq il-bejt
– Araw li l-katusi u mwieżeb mhumiex miżduda
– Araw li ma hemmx minn fejn jidħol l-ilma
– Iċċekjaw li l-bibien u twieqi jingħalqu sew (speċjalment jekk ta’ l-injam, għax fis-sajf jinxfu)
– Naddfu l-ġnien jew bitħa minn ħaxix, weraq etc … biex tevitaw li jinġemgħa l-ilma
– Naddfu l-bjar
– Preparaw post fejn jistkennu l-annimali
