Record on the horizon? If Malta’s heatwave lasts one more day, it will be the longest in local history
Ajma, hej!

Jillian Mallia 30th June 2021

Feeling the heat? Of course you are! Malta’s current heatwave has lasted for 11 days now which means locals have been moaning, grumbling, and sweating their butts off as they battle the scorcher currently over the Maltese islands.

According to Maltese Islands Weather, today is Day 11 of the heatwave. “Another day and the current heatwave will break the record for the longest-lasting heatwave in Malta’s meteorological history!”

The weather site noted that on 25th June, the islands registered the hottest day ever for the month in history. “The mercury soared to a dangerous 41.3°C at Malta International Airport.”

“From reading the latest maps, we’re expecting maximum temperatures to continue rising to 35°C + till at least 4th July.” Ommi ma!

However, it seems like there’s a sliver of hope on the horizon. “A strong northwesterly wind could bring relief from the intense heat on 5th July. This would lower temperature to the seasonal 30°C / 31°C daytime highs and 22°C / 23°C nighttime lows.” Much better!
