Fed up of the sticky post-summer weather? Then you'll love this! According to the latest forecasts, we’re expecting cold air from the Arctic to make its way to the central Mediterranean by the end of this month, and it will make night time temperatures feel as cold as 12°C around the Maltese Islands.

Before you start bringing out thicker clothes and quilts though, it is also reported that wind will blow from a southerly direction and increase to Force 6-7 next Sunday, bringing warm and humid air once again, so don’t put away your t-shirts just yet!

As for what to expect from the weather on the islands this week, thunderstorms like last night’s are expected to continue early this week, with isolated showers predicted towards the end of the week. The next 24 hours include predictions for isolated thunderstorms with the possibility of small hail.

As always, stay safe in stormy weather and wrap up if there's a chill in the air - it's flu season after all!
