In 2021, with the support of the Ministry for National Heritage, the Arts and Local Government, the festival made its big comeback with the title many are familiar with today – Mużika Mużika.

This year’s competition will see some of Malta’s most talented artists – from familiar X-Factor competitors like Justine Shorfid, Drakard & Lisa Gauci, Jasmine and many, many other familiar faces having their go at the winning title. Last year’s winner was Kurt Calleja with his song Bla Tarf.

At least 9 flights delayed due to intense fog all over Malta

Feb 23 2023

Due to the immense fog which befell Malta this morning, insider sources have informed this newsroom that all the delayed flights impacted will be departing soon.

Insider sources have informed MaltaDaily that there were delays of up to 2.5 to 3 hours as the officials and crew awaited clearer visibility for travel.

The situation has reportedly somewhat improved from this morning, with around 9 flights having been delayed according to the Arrivals and Departures information of the Malta International Airport.

Passenger caution is a primary concern on such days with such weather phenomena. The same caution is being advised for all those travelling out on the roads as the lack of visibility make the streets more accident prone.

Intense fog falls on most of Malta

Feb 23 2023

Videos and images sent to this newsroom show the immense thick fog which befell the Maltese islands and covering most localities, in this case Żebbuġ.

Despite being a sight to see (no pun intended), it is still highly advised for especially road commuters driving this morning to be very careful due to the reduced visibility.

Weather forecasts earlier this week suggested that temperatures were set to be slightly hotter with thick fogs descending during the night. It seems as though they will linger on for a few more hours into the morning as we head to our day to day activities.
