This week’s weather forecast promised a not-so-dry outlook for an estimated seven days from Wednesday, but with it being Thursday today (how is it Thursday already?), and the sun shining brightly outside, we're revisiting the forecast.

Although delayed, it seems that rain is still very much in the agenda for the Maltese islands. The most recent weather forecasts continue to predict a lengthy wet spell for Malta, but instead of Wednesday, the rain is expected to kick off midway through the weekend.

Starting Saturday, Malta is to be subjected to a showery forecast, which is expected to diminish to isolated showers by Sunday. The rainy threat will stretch till mid-next week, during which F6 winds are also expected.

A weather forecast Facebook page, Malta Weather, also mentions a possibility of thunder: “The weather is expected to take a turn for the worse in Malta and Gozo next week with STRONG WINDS and RAIN showers that may be THUNDERY at times as a trough of low pressure over Libya moves across the central Mediterranean!” the post read.

Temperatures are expected to be coldest during the weekend, with lows of 8 °C predicted for tomorrow, Friday. Brrrrr!

Fluff out your rain coats guys!
