Those early October thunderstorms have already started feeling like a distant memory – but luckily for us, Mother Nature won’t be keeping it that way for much longer…

As the country grows accustomed to significantly cooler temperatures and air conditioners all over Malta get a well-needed break, meteorologists are predicting that an intense storm will be hitting the islands tomorrow, as if to put the final nail in summer’s coffin.

The team at Maltese Islands Weather took to social media to explain what’s behind this highly anticipated weather phenomenon.

“An intense low-pressure system will develop rapidly over the central Mediterranean during the day on Thursday,” the weather page wrote.

“[The low-pressure system] will bring periods of heavy rain and an episode of very strong wind from the Northeast. We expect this mainly in the afternoon on Thursday 14th October,” it continued.

And it’s not just Maltese Islands Weather that’s forecasting the thunderstorm…

The Malta International Airport’s seven-day forecast is predicting that ‘thundery showers’ will hit the islands on Thursday.

The storm is set to be accompanied by a significant temperature drop, with highs of 21°C and lows of 15°C.

According to the Malta International Airport, we’re also set to experience a couple of isolated showers today.

That’s Mother Nature’s way of preparing us for what’s to come!
