Aug 30 2021 Share

The summer season is gradually closing as clouds seem to be dominating Malta’s skies throughout this entire week. The first two days, Monday 30th and Tuesday 31st, are set to keep the sunlight we’ve grown accustomed to but with a considerable dip in temperature. Today is set to feel like 31 degrees Celsius, going up to 34 tomorrow. 

But on Wednesday, the first day of September, the weather is set to stay partly cloudy, giving autumn and winter lovers the first taste of their favourite indoor, cozy seasons. The temperature is set to fluctuate between 32 and 34 degrees Celsius throughout. We hope you had your last few summer beach days and splashes because we’ve finally started the road to cooler weather. And quite frankly, it’s about time!
