Another day another storm! Unexpected storm looms over Malta this morning
This September is bringing all kinds of unexpected weather turns

Francesca Vella

After yesterday's rainy afternoon, many were likely hoping for clearer skies today, but they'll have to wait a bit longer. Much of Malta is currently under a blanket of grey clouds, with some areas experiencing thunder and rainfall this morning.

According to Maltese Islands Weather, this is the result of lingering instability from yesterday's weather system, which drifted in from the southwest. The fact that today’s storm wasn’t forecast underscores just how unpredictable the weather has been lately, driven by an unstable atmosphere.

Conditions are expected to improve later in the day, but until then, be prepared for heavy rain if those clouds overhead are still looking grey!

Did you get caught in yesterday’s rain?
