Did you breathe a fresh sigh of relief in the last couple of days as some clouds and slightly lower temperatures kind of made their way to the Maltese Islands? Are you done with all of that? Good, because this week’s weather forecast is looking like we’re set for a whole lot more heat.

The beginning of the week doesn’t look too out of the ordinary, with highs of 32°C feeling more like 35°C… but by tomorrow, things are going to get even hotter.

The hottest day this week is set to be Wednesday, with an apparent high of 39°C

Yes, you read that right; we’re going to be approaching those dreaded 40s again.

And while Wednesday is set to be this heatwave’s climax, there isn’t going to be much respite for the rest of the week; highs will still feel like 36°C going into the weekend, and with lows of 23°C and 24°C and practically negligible wind of Force 2 and 3 blowing from the northwest but slowly turning southerly by Friday, get ready to sweat.
