The start of November kicked in with a bang yesterday as Malta started with an unexpected warmth, shattering records in the process.

On the very first day of the month, the Met Office at the Malta International Airport reported a scorching high of 29.1°C, making it the warmest November day on record. This extraordinary feat surpasses the previous record of 28.2°C, which had stood for 25 years since 1998.

However, it just might seem that Mother Nature has more surprises in store for the weekend. Looking ahead, the weather forecast for the next three days shows a mixed bag.

Friday and Saturday are predicted to bring rain, possibly bringing some relief to the warm spell. Friday’s maximum temperature is set to be 25°C with the minimum temperature of 16°C, falling during the evening. Saturday will bring the most relief from the heat as the maximum temperature is set to be 22°C.

The weekend is also set to bring about a refreshing breeze as the wind will pick and rise between Force 6-7 on both Friday and Saturday.

However, if you're looking to soak up the sun, Sunday appears to be the best bet, with the forecast indicating mostly sunny conditions with the maximum temperature rising back up to 25°C.

So, while November has started with an unusual sizzle, it seems that it won't be entirely devoid of typical autumnal weather.

We’ll just have to wait and see!
