No indication when upcoming heat wave will end

Jun 21 2021

Malta Islands Weather have stated that there is, as of yet, no clear indication as to when the heat wave Malta is experiencing will pass. The temperature is set to increase well over 35 degrees Celsius, with reportedly no rest from the heat during night time either. Malta’s nights will reach over 25 degrees Celsius.

A heatwave is defined as a ’spell of three or more consecutive days with daytime highs exceeding the mean maximum temperature for that particular time of year by 5°C or more.’ This particular heat wave will increase it over 10°C.

The UV index will be at around 11+, meaning an increased risk of harm from exposure to sunlight. Maltese Islands Weather encourage people to take necessary precautions, with UV being highest in the early afternoon.
