Temperatures in Malta are expected to feel as high as 47°C today due to high humidity.

Taking to Facebook, local weather page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’ broke the concerning news, make everyone wish it was Winter right now. The day will start off hazy with some clouds, but it will become mostly sunny and hot. Despite the relatively lower air temperature of 35°C, the intense humidity will make it feel much hotter.

The wind will be light and variable, blowing mostly from the east or southeast, adding to the heavy, sticky feeling in the air. The sea will remain calm, providing little relief from the sweltering heat.

Tonight, temperatures will drop to 27°C, but it will still feel like 29°C due to the humidity.

The UV index is high at 8, so caution is advised when spending time outdoors.

On the day of his final farewell, many have taken to social media and headed to Birżebbuġa to celebrate the life of a beloved figure in Maltese history, Jake Vella.

The young man’s celebration of life started today at 10:30am, with friends, family and colleagues bidding a tearful farewell to Jake.

Jake, who was deeply passionate about both sports and music, is remembered for his dedication to triathlons and his love for music. Despite his struggle with Rapid-onset Obesity with Hypothalamic Dysfunction, Hypoventilation, and Autonomic Dysregulation (ROHHAD), he organised events to raise funds for animal welfare and other causes.

Earlier today Puttinu Cares shared a touching video of some of the young man’s special moments alongside a touching message. The heartfelt message, shared with the public, invited all to the special celebration to commemorate Jake’s extraordinary life and the impact he had on so many people. In the video, Puttinu Cares expressed immense gratitude for all that Jake had taught and for the positivity he brought into the lives of those around him, despite the challenges he faced.

The farewell is not just a solemn event but a celebration of life, paying tribute to Jake’s strength, kindness, and the legacy he leaves behind.

The event is being live-streamed online for those who wish to join.

RIP Jake.
