A mass of air from over north Africa will retreat, allowing cooler air from over Europe to infiltrate our area. This will mean noticeably cooler temperatures for the Maltese Islands. Temperatures will be stable, with 16 C / 17 C highs and 11 C / 12 C lows this week. The Maltese Islands will find themselves sandwiched in between high and low pressure on most days. This means a mix of weather conditions. Some days will be sunny. Others will be cloudier. Some light rain or drizzle is also possible at the weekend. The wind turns Northeast / East / Southeast from Monday 16/03, and will remain so for the duration of the week. It will be mainly moderate in strength, but could be stronger at the weekend. Next Saturday 21/03 will mark the start of astronomical spring.
