Fast Ferry suspended as heavy wind warning issued

Apr 21 2023

A yellow heavy wind warning has been issued by the Meteorological Office as Friday kicks off the weekend with intense East Northeast winds hitting the islands.

The same warning was issued by other weather portals like Facebook page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’, with the GozoFast Ferry suspending services for the day due to the wind’s impact on the sea and transportation.

The wind is expected to climb to Force 7, being particularly chilly as well as being considerably dusty as it churns up desert sands. The winds are expected to die down by Saturday as the rest of the weekend continues.

Saturday and Sunday are expected to be mainly sunny with temperatures feeling like 18 degrees Celsius and 19 degrees Celsius respectively.

So if anyone is inclined to go have a dip at one of Malta’s many beaches, you might want to wait it out today until the wind dies down and the spring time sunshine gives us a taste of the upcoming summer.
