It’s still early days, but we have the initial maps for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. From our interpretation of these maps, preliminary indications are that the weather will be somewhat more unstable than on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The level of confidence is quite high. As things stand, we expect partly to variably cloudy skies with the possibility of isolated rain/hail showers on New Year’s Eve. New Year’s Day will be finer, with plentiful sunshine throughout the day. With highs of below 15 C and lows of around 7 C, both days will see some colder temperatures than as of recent. The wind should be strong from the Northeast on New Year’s Eve, before decreasing somewhat on New Year’s Day.

Għadu kmieni, imma għandna l-ewwel mapep tat-temp għal Lejlet l-Ewwel tas-Sena u Jum l-Ewwel tas-Sena. Mill-interpretazzjoni tagħna ta’ dawn il-mapep, l-ewwel indikazzjonijiet qed juru li t-temp għandu jkun xi daqsxejn aktar intsballi minn Lejlet il-Milied u Jum il-Milied. Il-livell ta’ kunfidenza huwa pjuttost għoli. Kif inhuma l-affarijiet, jidher li se jkollna sema ftit jew wisq imsaħħab u bil-possibilita ta’ ħalbiet tax-xita u/jew silġ iżolati nhar Lejlet l-Ewwel tas-Sena. Jum l-Ewwel tas-Sena se jkun aħjar, b’ammont sostanzzjali ta’ xemx matul il-jum kollu. Bl-ogħla ta’ anqas minn 15 C u l-anqas ta’ madwar 7 C, il-jumejn li huma se jkun ferm aktar kesħin minn dan l-aħħar. Ir-riħ għandu jkun qawwi mill-Grigal f’Lejlet l-Ewwel tas-Sena, qabel ma jonqos daqsxejn f’Jum l-Ewwel tas-Sena.
