Hot Weather To Reach 35°C By The End Of The Week

Aug 9 2023

According to the Malta International Airport weather forecast, the summer heat will be hitting the islands once more after a few days of cool breezes hitting the country.

Starting today, Wednesday 9th August, the temperature is set to feel like 31 degrees Celsius. This will be increasing as the week comes to a close, climbing up to 35 degrees Celsius by Sunday.

The temperature, as well as the sunny weather, is set to persist into next week as many get off work for a week of beaching it.

Still, health warnings by authorities still apply for especially hot days. Heat stroke and dehydrations are still factored as a potential risk, with people being urged to follow a set of precautions.

How will you be spending next week?

Three Orphan Hedgehogs Rescued: Under Rehab Prior To Release

Aug 9 2023

A few days ago, Wildlife Rescue Team Malta shared a photo of their three hedgehogs, rescued as orphans from local natural areas.

The hedgehogs still have a few more weeks of rehab before they are released back into the wild. In a separate comment under the post, the team explained that the milk they are being fed is recommended by expert vets.

Hedgehogs are lactose intolerant, and therefore require specific nourishment. ‘All wildlife rehab is under our vets advice to ensure a better success rate’, the team explained.

‘Help injured wildlife by calling our Emergency No 9999 9505 or donate towards our Wildlife rehab centre project so we may purchase more medical equipment to assist on our work and that of our vets.’

Aug 9 2023

*Update: Police have confirmed with this newsroom that this is a resurfaced video from 2020.

A video uploaded to TikTok on the account @maltadailyimbarazz shows yet another case of Maltese road rage, culminating in a chase between two persons.

As cars drive up to a red light in the Paceville area, two men were filmed engaging in an enraged chase, with one of the men wielding what seems to be some form of wooden plank.

The chase seems to have stemmed from an argument between commuters, with other car passengers looking on as the two men ran and weaved through the stagnant traffic.

It is unclear if anyone was injured in the incident and what led to the chase.
