Wow! Local photographer captures stunning photos of the thunderstorms over Malta
Nature's raw power in one picture!

Francesca Vella

The talented photographer Viktor Vella has shared some incredible shots capturing the raw power of the lightning that illuminated Malta’s skies during the storms of the last couple of nights. His photos showcase the dramatic contrast between the dark storm clouds and the brilliant flashes of lightning that lit up the night, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

While the heavy rain caused flooding in some parts of the island, it was a welcome sight for many, especially after an unusually dry October. The downpours are expected to continue in the coming days, replenishing the land and offering a much-needed refresh to the environment.

Viktor’s photos provide a reminder of the incredible power and beauty of nature, that cost absolutely nothing to witness!

Well done on the fantastic shots, Viktor!
