This warning is valid from 21:00 on Monday 31st January till 23:59 on Tuesday 1st February. The warning will be updated when and if necessary.

Front kiesaħ abbinat ma’ sistema intensa ta’ pressjoni baxxa fuq il-Baħar Adrijatiku se jgħaddi minn fuq iċ-ċentru tal-Mediterran. Fl-istess ħin, sistema ta’ pressjoni għolja se tkun qed tinfluwenza l-punent ta’ l-Ewropa. Dan se joħloq riħ qawwi għal qawwi ħafna mill-Punent Majjistru għal Majjistral it-Tramuntana madwar iċ-ċentru tal-Mediterran. Din it-twissija tkun fis-seħħ minn 21:00 tat-Tnejn 31 ta’ Jannar sa 23:59 tat-Tlieta 1 ta’ Frar. It-twissija tkun aġġornata jekk ikun hemm bżonn. Id-dettalji ta’ hawn taħt jindikaw kif se tiżviluppa din is-sitwazzjoni matul dan il-ħin:

 

It-Tnejn 31/1

21:00 sa 23:59 – Punent Majjistru Forza 5 għal 6

It-Tlieta 1/2

Il-baħar se jkun imqalleb ħafna, b’mewġ għoli 6.0 metri fil-buffuri l-aktar qawwija. Il-mappa ta’ hawn taħt turi l-kosta l-aktar esposta għal dan il-baħar qawwi ħafna.

Ir-riħ se jonqos gradwalment matul il-jum ta’ l-Erbgħa 2 ta’ Marzu, u jsir moderat sa filgħaxija.
