Despite an unstable start to September, summer is not over yet. A ridge of high pressure from over north Africa will extend to cover the central Mediterranean from Thursday 12/09. This is expected to bring us a long spell of mainly sunny or partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will also rise again slightly. Maximum temperatures will be in the range of 29 C to 30 C. Lows will be a warm 21 C / 22 C. The wind will be mainly light and variable. The moist ground will allow for increased levels of evaporation, resulting in higher levels of humidity. This will, in turn, cause realfeels to rise to above 30 C on a number of days. This spell of fine weather will last for at least one week, but could last even longer. The latest maps suggest that the next round of unstable weather is expected towards the 21st. The details about that will be issued at a later date.

Minkejja bidu daqsxejn instabbli għal Settembru, is-sajf għadu ma spiċċax. Firxa ta’ pressjoni għolja minn l-Afrika ta’ fuq se tinfirex madwar iċ-ċentru tal-Mediterran mill-Ħamis 12/09. Din mistennija ġġib magħha waqfa twila ta’ temp sabiħ b’sema l-biċċa l-kbira xemxi jew ftit imsaħħab. It-temperaturi se jogħlew kemmxejn ukoll. L-ogħla se jvarjaw minn 29 C sa 30 C. L-anqas se jkunu ta’ 21 C / 22 C. Ir-riħ se jkun il-biċċa l-kbira ħafif u varjabbli. L-art, li issa tinsab imxarrba sew, se twassal għal rati għoljin ta’ evaporazzjoni, u għalhekk livelli għoljin ta’ umdita. Din se twassal biex it-temperaturi jkunu jinħassu daqs li kieku qiegħdin fuq it-30 C. Din il-waqfa ta’ temp sabiħ mistennija ddum madwar ġimgħa, imma tista tkopri aktar żmien. L-aħħar mapep qed jindikaw li l-mewġa ta’ maltemp li jmiss għandha tmissna madwar il-21/09. Dettalji dwar din jingħataw aktar ‘il quddiem.
