Rain rain come again? Yesterday was one of 4 times it's rained in July over the past 35 years
Yesterday, Malta experienced quite the freak storm in parts of the island, with certain places experiencing insane amounts of downpour. Mgarr, for example, was one of the worst hit areas, while other places just experienced light rain.
Weather page It-Temp Madwarna shared some curious facts on local weather in relation to the amounts of rainfall we’ve recorded. “In certain localities, February 2020 was drier than July 2020,” they shared. Now that’s something! “Even if localities remained completely dry, the national medium for July 2020 is still more than that of February 2020.”
Interestingly, they note that, “in the past 25 years, it has only rained four times in July, with the last two times being the last two years (2019 and 2020).” The weather page also shared that after yesterday’s freak downpour, Mgarr recorded 25.4mm of rain yesterday.
