Jul 12 2024

June was 1.6°C warmer than the climatic norm. Only 3.8 mm of rain fell during the month. Warmer weather is forecast for the next few days, but a heatwave is not expected.

Following the trend set by previous months, June ushered in the summer season with warm and dry weather. Despite the 3rd of June being the wettest day, with most of the 3.8 mm of rain falling on this day, the rest of the month remained very dry.

With sparse precipitation and persistent heat, last month’s average temperature of 25.8°C exceeded the climatic norm by 1.6°C. The highest temperature was recorded on June 21st, when the second heatwave of the year pushed the mercury up to 35.8°C. However, the record for the highest June temperature remains with June 2021, which saw temperatures soar to 41.5°C. The sea surface temperature also surpassed the climatic norm by 1.7°C, averaging 23.7°C.

Despite being warmer, June 2024 was also duller than usual, with the Meteorological Office recording 312.1 hours of sunshine, nearly 22 hours below the climatic norm. The brightest day was June 8th, with 13.5 hours of sunshine, while the dullest day was June 12th, with less than 3 hours of sunshine.

HIGH TEMPERATURES FORECAST FOR THE COMING DAYS

The Meteorological Office has issued a yellow weather warning, advising the public of rising temperatures over the next few days. The upcoming weekend will see air temperatures climb to 35°C, with a peak of 36°C expected between Monday and Tuesday. The UV index is projected to reach 10, indicating a high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.

Despite the high temperatures, which are due to a persistent anticyclone over the African continent, a heatwave is not currently forecast. For a period of hot days to be classified as a heatwave, the highest temperature must exceed the average maximum temperature for the month (31.7°C) by 5°C for three consecutive days.

Authorities Restore Order to St George’s Square in Rabat, Gozo

Jul 12 2024

The project for outdoor dining at St George’s Square in Rabat, Gozo, has been enforced by the authorities, guaranteeing that restaurants follow the guidelines for setting up tables and chairs. The police , the Planning Authorities, The Lands Authority, and the Malta Tourism Authority were all involved in the operation.

This enforcement comes after a demonstration organised by an alliance of residents, cultural institutions, NGOs, and parish priest Joseph Curmi last month. They expressed worry about restaurants occupying public areas without permission. Even while the square’s master plan still contained spaces set aside for tables and chairs, a lot of business had pushed past these lines and clogged it up.

Fr.Curmi outlined the problems this incursion brought about, emphasising that it was wrong to abuse public property. He brought up the fact that people who wanted to get married or have funerals at the church needed permission to take down the chairs and tables. On important occasions , guests frequently encountered several challenges in spite of these permits.

The operation was effective in removing illegal seats and tables from the square, giving locals and guests back this important public area. This move highlights how crucial it is to follow the concept in order to preserve St George’s Square’s harmony between accessibility and commercial activity.
