A brief pause on heat waves to make way for thunderstorms in mid-July

A brief pause on heat waves to make way for thunderstorms in mid-July
Jun 30 2022 Share

From one weather extreme to another as according to forecasting portals, further heatwaves are unlikely for the middle of July. Instead, we might be facing massive thunderstorms.

According to Facebook page ‘Malta Weather’, ‘July 2022 looks like it will be another hotter-than-average month across Malta and Gozo, probably starting off with the continuation of the current very hot conditions.’

‘However, further heatwaves are not likely at this stage. Indeed, around mid-July, we could have a Summer crisis as an upper-level trough may bring either COOL and gusty northwesterly winds and/or the chance of an isolated THUNDERSTORM!’

As of yet, the weather will remain all around scorching, with the Malta International Airport forecasting a week of sunny skies with blistering temperatures at 38 degrees Celsius. 

For now, we can rest assured that we’ll be over-working our air conditioning systems as the heat persists. Health warnings are still applicable, urging hydration, the wearing of sunscreen and other preventive measures.
