The central Mediterranean region finds itself enveloped in a peculiar blend of weather phenomena—a concoction of high humidity intermingled with airborne dust particles.

This update was posted by Maltese Islands Weather, saying that residents have also reported sporadic drops of rain in various localities, painting a picture of an atmospheric cocktail that defies conventional expectations.

In fact, this weather pattern is anticipated to persist until early next week, casting a veil of uncertainty over Malta's atmospheric stability.

However, this episode might not mark the conclusion of the Sahara Desert's influence on the area's weather dynamics. Forecasts suggest that similar weather patterns could reemerge towards the end of May or the beginning of June, hinting at the fact that we should not wash our cars or windows just yet!

Are you looking forward to summer weather?
