It’s still early days, but weather maps are providing us with a preliminary outlook of the weather over Carnival weekend. The meteorological situation across the Mediterranean is shaping up to be a rather interesting one. There will be a low pressure system over the eastern Mediterranean, and an area of high pressure over the western Mediterranean. The Maltese Islands should find themselves sandwiched in between these. The influence of the high pressure should maintain mainly fine weather across Malta and Gozo. The wind should be mainly light to moderate. The low pressure will direct a stream of colder air towards the central Mediterranean, resulting in a potential cold spell over Carnival. There is a slight risk of a little light rain or drizzle, however, if the low pressure system’s edges extend westward enough to brush past the Maltese Islands. We will inform you more in due course.

Għadu kmieni, pero’ il-mapep tat-temp diġa bdew jagħtuna xi tbassir preliminari għal jiem tal-Karnival. Jidher li s-sitwazzjoni metejoroloġika se tkun waħda interessanti. Se jkun hemm sistema’ ta’ pressjoni baxxa fuq il-lvant tal-Mediterran, u arja bi pressjoni għolja fuq il-punent tal-Mediterran. Il-Gżejjer Maltin se jkunu bejniethom. Il-pressjoni għolja għandha twassal biex it-temp stabbli li għandna jitkompla. Ir-riħ għandu jkun ħafif għal moderat. Il-pressjoni baxxa minn naħa l-oħra, se tniżżel magħha massa ta’ arja kiesħa, li tista twassal għal perjodu ta’ kesħa tul żmien il-Karnival. Jeżisti wkoll ir-riskju żgħir ta’ xi ftit xita ħafifa jew irxiex, pero’, jekk tarf din is-sistema’ ta’ pressjoni baxxa jestendi lejn il-punent biżejjed u jgħaddi bi żbrixx minn magħna. Aħna se nżommukom infurmati tul il-jiem li ġejjin.
