After having avoided the biggest cyclone ever recorded in the Mediterranean last weekend, the Maltese islands woke up to sun and hot weather for the first day of October this morning. However, by the time this week ends, we might be in for some more autumny weather.
Monday saw the 1st of October kick off with highs of 28°C that will actually feel like 32°C, so today is definitely the best day for people who can’t let go of summer and want one last tanning session.
As the temperature drops to 19°C tonight, the rest of the week will bring with it increasing chances of rain, strong winds, colder temperatures… and possibly even some thunder.
Tuesday’s weather forecast is currently showing potential thundery showers hit the islands, as the temperature drops to 25°C (with the apparent temperature only slightly higher, sitting at 28°C). As the evening’s lowest temperature drops to 18°C and the wind climbs from Force 2 to 3 and possibly even 4, the rest of the week is currently slated to bring more of the same.
The forecasts for both Wednesday and Thursday are currently showing the possibility of showers, along with highs gravitating just over 25°C and lows sitting just under 20°C.
Similarly to last weekend, the first weekend of October will actually see the sun briefly come back out, bringing with it warmer temperatures.
While Friday’s forecast is still currently showing thundery showers on the menu, the temperature will already start climbing then, with the apparent temperature going up to 28°C.
By Saturday, isolated showers might hit the islands among temperatures that will yet again go up to beyond 30°C, with a mainly sunny Sunday helping the highs feel as much as 31°C. Evening the lowest temperature in the weekend will budge up, just about making it to 20°C.
The rest of the week will see the sun shining at a UV Index of 5, with initially northwesterly winds of Forces 3 to 4 shifting to an easterly, and gradually southerly direction.
