A cold front associated with a low pressure system over central Italy will be traversing the central Mediterranean on Sunday 12/05. This year’s Mothers’ Day promises to be a wet and windy one. The main influence of this cold front will be a plunge in air temperature. From a 26 C high on Saturday 11/05, it will struggle to reach 21 C on Sunday 12/05. The minimum temperature will dip to 14 C. That is 3 C lower than the average for this time of year. The crossing of this cold front will also mean a strong wind from the West Northwest to Northwest for the Maltese Islands. It will reach Force 5/6 from around noon on Sunday 12/05 onward. Finally, there is also the chance for some isolated showers. Rain will be possible at any time during the day, with the greatest chance being in the morning and early afternoon. It will be mainly light, but could become briefly heavy and thundery from time to time. Monday 13/05 will see similar weather conditions. It will then become mainly sunny, but remain rather windy, from Tuesday 14/05 onward, as the Maltese Islands face an unstable week.
