Get ready...we’re in for a predominantly sunny and hot week, according to the latest six-day forecast from Maltese Islands Weather. Just in time for Santa Marija festa week too!

From Wednesday, 13th August, through Friday, 15th August, Malta is set to bask in uninterrupted sunshine, with maximum temperatures peaking at 35°C and a real feel temperature climbing up to 39°C on Wednesday and Friday.

Overnight lows will hover around 25°C, which means that evening will be quite warm too. Winds will generally be from the north-northwest at Force 2/3, with smooth seas and negligible swell from the north.

The weekend brings a slight change, with Saturday, 16th and Sunday, 17th expected to be partly cloudy. Temperatures will be marginally cooler, with highs of 33°C and real feel values ranging from 36°C to 37°C.

Winds will shift between north-northwest and northwest, remaining light to moderate. Seas will stay mostly smooth, though slight conditions are possible by Sunday.

By Monday, 18th August, sunny skies return, with temperatures easing slightly to a high of 32°C (R.F. 35°C) and a low of 24°C. Winds will turn west-northwest at Force 3/4, and sea conditions will be slight.

Do you have any Santa Marija plans for this week?
