Malta is set for another stretch of warm summer weather, with temperatures expected to reach around 31°C on Sunday, 26 July, and 32°C on Monday and Tuesday.
The outlook indicates partly sunny conditions, accompanied by humidity and periods of breezy weather.
Nighttime temperatures will also remain warm, dropping to around 26°C on Sunday night, 25°C on Monday night and 24°C on Tuesday night.
What will the weather feel like?
Humidity can make the temperature feel more uncomfortable than the number shown on the thermometer, particularly in areas with little shade or airflow.
The breeze may offer some relief, but it is still important not to underestimate the strength of the summer sun.
People heading to the beach, attending a festa or working outside should plan regular breaks and keep water close by.
When should you avoid the sun?
The hottest part of the day is generally during the late morning and afternoon.
Where possible, strenuous outdoor activity should be planned for earlier in the morning or later in the evening. Wearing light clothing, using sun protection and seeking shade regularly can help reduce the effects of the heat.
Take extra care of vulnerable people
Older people, young children, people with chronic medical conditions and those working outdoors may be more affected by hot and humid conditions.
Relatives and neighbours are encouraged to check on anyone who may need additional support, particularly those living alone.
Children and pets should never be left inside a parked vehicle, even for a brief period.
Advice for drivers and travellers
Anyone travelling to or from Malta International Airport should carry water and allow enough time for the journey, especially when using public transport or walking with luggage.
Passengers should continue checking their airline’s official communication for flight information, as weather forecasts alone do not confirm whether a flight will be delayed or disrupted.
Keep checking the official forecast
Malta International Airport advises the public to use its Meteorological Office weather page for up-to-date information and to make sure that the page being viewed is not an older cached version.
Weather conditions and forecasts can change, so the latest official warning or forecast should always take priority.
