An intense low pressure system is currently affecting parts of the Iberian Peninsula. It will affect Italy in the coming hours. Meanwhile, an area of high pressure which has covered the central Mediterranean for much of October will retreat eastwards. This will allow the intense low pressure system to penetrate our region. The weather conditions will deteriorate from late on Thursday 24/10, as this low pressure system starts reaching the Maltese Islands. There will be increasing cloudiness with some isolated showers overnight into Friday 25/10. Saturday 26/10 will be mostly cloudy with possible isolated showers. Rain showers which will be heavy and thundery at times are then expected on both Sunday 27/10 and Monday 28/10. Further isolated showers should then drench the Maltese Islands on Tuesday 29/10 and Wednesday 30/10. More details will be issued in separate updates.
