Here They Come: Rain And Possible Thunderstorm To Hit Malta This Week
Malta saw its first rainfall of the season after months of extreme heat, and most of us were more than happy to see grey clouds hanging over the islands – and it seems like that wasn’t all, as September has more rainy days in store and early signs of autumn are already showing.
With rainfall spotted in most areas of Malta, we were reminded that once it rains in Malta, it rains. Streets flooded and roads turned into rivers as the strong bouts of rain crossed the islands.
Good news for those who loved the wet weather: more rain will be coming to Malta and Gozo early this week, the page Malta Weather shared in a Facebook post announcing that instability is increasing across the central Mediterranean.
