The warning is set to last between Saturday, 6th January and Sunday, 7th January.
“A cold front associated with an intense low pressure system over the Tyrrhenian Sea will be sweeping the central Mediterranean during the weekend”, Maltese Islands Weather explained.

As expected, the sea is set to be quite rough and dangerous alongside the majority of the Maltese coast with waves forecasted to reach the height of up to 7.5metres.
