Malta has been battered with strong winds all week long, but tonight, it's set to get worse 👀

The Met Office has issued an Orange Warning with an ominous "Be Prepared" message as the ongoing Force 5 and 6 WNW winds are set to go all the way up to Force 7. Meanwhile on other weather pages like WindFinder, this evening's wind is forecasted to go up to as high as Force 8. Meanwhile, other reports from earlier this week said wind gusts could even hit Force 10 at some point 😬

The Met Office's weather warning is currently valid until 10pm tonight, with all of this weekend set to be very windy and cloudy 🌬

Be careful out there tonight and share this post to make sure everyone stays safe this weekend! 📲

SEVERE MISTRAL GALE WARNINGS FOR THIS COMING WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK

Wind gusts are expected to reach up to 100kmh (prevailing Force 7 or 8 wind gusting Force 10) from a WNW direction veering NW between Friday 20/12/24 noon and Saturday 21/12 1800. Phenomenal waves of up to 8m are being anticipated to batter the NW and W coasts of Malta and Gozo such as Marsalforn and Gnejna Bay. This Mistral Gale will also be accompanied by isolated rain or hail showers at times. Another unusual back to back Mistral Gale Force 8 is then immediately expected next Monday 23/12/24 lasting until the early morning of Christmas Day with the same risks being anticipated. The cause of the very bad weather being anticipated is that both the Azores High (1040 hPa) over the Atlantic and the Icelandic Low (960 hPa) will be stronger than usual hence producing deep pressure gradients over the Mediterranean when contrasting with the Genoa Lows that will form as a result of cold air being blocked by the mountains of the Alps at the lower levels, a quite strange setup of the positive North Atlantic Oscillation. Kindly visit our website daily as the forecast could be subject to updates.

TWISSIJA TA' MAJJISTRALATI SEVERI GĦAL TMIEM DIN IL-ĠIMGĦA U D-DIEĦLA

Ir-riħ mistenni jilħaq buffuri ta' madwar 100km/h (riħ prevelanti Forza 7 jew 8 b' buffuri sa Forza 10) mill-Punent Majjistru li jdur lejn il-Majjistral bejn il-Ġimgħa 20/12/24 nofsinhar u s-Sibt 21/12 1800. Qed jiġi antiċipat mewġ fenomenali sa 8m li jaħbat mal-kosti tat-tramuntana u l-Punent ta’ Malta u Għawdex bħal Marsalforn u l-Bajja tal-Ġnejna. Din il-Majjistralata se tkun akkumpanjata minn ħalbiet iżolati tax-xita jew silġ irqiq. Immedjatament jidher li se jkollna Majjistralata oħra nhar it-Tnejn 23/12/24 li ddum sa kmieni filgħodu ta’ Jum il-Milied bl-istess riskji jkunu antiċipati. Il-kawża tat-temp ħażin ħafna li qed jiġi previst hija li kemm l-pressjoni għolja tal-Azores (1040 hPa) fuq l-Atlantiku kif ukoll il-pressjoni baxxa Iżlandiża (960 hPa) se jkunu aktar b'saħħithom mis-soltu u b'hekk jipproduċu gradjenti ta' pressjoni profonda fuq il-Mediterran meta jikkuntrastaw mal-pressjoni baxxa ta' Ġenova li tifforma riżultat t' arja kiesħa li tiġi mblukkata mill-muntanji ta' l-Alpi fil-livelli baxxi, setup pjuttost stramba ta' l-Oxxillazzjoni pożittiva ta' l-Atlantiku tat-Tramuntana.

An unseasonably warm good afternoon as today's MAX temperature is set to reach a balmy 24°C! However, it will all change by the weekend as part of the very cold air over Europe is set to reach Malta with the MIN temperature tumbling down to 10°C by early Monday morning in some places bringing an early taste of Winter. This will be preceded by some isolated rain showers and strong NW wind particularly tomorrow morning (21/11/24) and overnight between Friday and Saturday. What's happening these days over continental Europe might be related to the ongoing slowdown of the Gulf Stream as there's the possibility of cold spells becoming harsher in Europe! For example statistically snow in the UK is more likely in Easter than Christmas.

Il-wara nofsinhar it-tajjeb aktar sħun mis-soltu hekk kif it-temperatura mistennija tilħaq l- 24°C! Madankollu, it-temp se jinbidel sa tmiem il-ġimgħa peress li parti mill-arja kiesħa ħafna fuq l-Ewropa mistennija tinżel ukoll lejn Malta bit-temperatura MIN tinżel għal 10°C sa kmieni t-Tnejn filgħodu f’xi postijiet u ġġib togħma bikrija tax-Xitwa. Dan se jkun preċedut minn xi ħalbiet tax-xita iżolati u riħ qawwi mill-Majjistral partikolarment għada filgħodu (21/11/24) u matul il-lejl bejn il-Ġimgħa u s-Sibt. Dak li qed jiġri f’dawn il-jiem fl-Ewropa kontinentali jista’ jkun relatat mat-tnaqqis kontinwu tal-Gulf Stream u b'hekk tiżdied il-possibbiltà ta' perjodi kesħin li jkunu aktar ħorox fl-Ewropa! Pereżempju statistikament il-borra fir-Renju Unit hija aktar komuni fl-Għid milli fil-Milied.

A weak but widespread layer of cold air aloft will descend from the Rhone Valley towards the Maltese Islands whereby it shall contrast with a much warmer sea than normal which at 24°C is about 3°C warmer than normal as if it were the old September. This shall generate instability hence rain clouds around the Maltese Islands likely approaching from the East giving the much needed rain (which could be thundery) for this coming Thursday and Friday 7/11/24 and 8/11/24 despite air pressure remaining high. Rain showers could be heavy in places particularly over the immediate coast. The weekend and probably the beginning of next week will also remain unstable. This is probably the same DANA Low that effected Spain in the previous week but in a weakened state! The MAX temperature will drop a little more to around 20°C.

Roqqa dgħajfa iżda mifruxa t'arja kiesħa fil-għoli se tinżel mir-Rhone Valley lejn il-gżejjer Maltin fejn għandu jikkuntrasta ma' baħar ħafna aktar sħun min-normal b' temperatura ta' wicc l-ilma ta' 24°C tkun madwar 3°C aktar sħuna min-normal daqs li kieku Settembru tal-antik. Dan għandu jiġġenera l-instabbilta' li toħloq sħab tax-xita madwar il-Gżejjer Maltin li x'aktarx jersaq mil-Lvant u jagħti x-xita tant meħtieġa (li tista' tkun bir-ragħad) għal dan il-Ħamis u l-Ġimgħa li ġejjin 7/11/24 u 8/11/24 minkejja li l-pressjoni tal-arja tibqa għolja. Ħalbiet tax-xita jistgħu jkunu wkoll qawwija f’ certu postijiet partikolarment fuq il-kosta immedjata. Tmiem il-ġimgħa u probabbilment il-bidu tad-dieħla se jibqgħu wkoll instabbli. Din hija probabbilment l-istess DANA Low li effettwat lil Spanja fil-ġimgħa ta’ qabel iżda fi stat imdgħajjef! It-temperatura MAX se tinżel ftit aktar għal madwar 20°C.

A negatively tilted upper-level trough will cross the Central Mediterranean and the Maltese Islands on Saturday, 19th October 2024 inducing lots of instability. This is expected to generate fierce thunderstorms over Southern Italy. A relatively dry mid-level airmass shall sit on top of the Maltese Islands on Saturday morning enhancing the threat of severe thunderstorms consisting of damaging winds and/or large hail. In the afternoon/evening, the main focus will shift on the potential for heavy thundery rain showers as the arrival of a much cooler airmass contrasts with the warm sea surface temperature. The weather on the morrow, Sunday, should improve. However, further warnings for bad weather might need to be issued for early next week.

Sistema ta' pressjoni baxxa fil-għoli ser taqsam il-Mediterran Ċentrali u l-Gżejjer Maltin nhar is-Sibt, 19 t’ Ottubru 2024 fejn se ġġib magħha ħafna instabbiltà. Dan mistenni jiġġenera maltempati qawwija bir-ragħad fuq in-Nofsinhar tal-Italja. Massa t' arja relattivament xotta fil-livelli medja fuq il-Gżejjer Maltin nhar is-Sibt filgħodu tista twassal għal potenzjal ta' maltempati severi li jikkonsistu f' buffuri ta'rjieħat qawwija ħafna li jikkawżaw il-ħsara u/jew silġ kbir. Wara nofsinhar/filgħaxija, l-enfasi tinbidel fuq il-probabilta ta' ħalbiet tax-xita qawwija u bir-ragħad hekk kif il-wasla t' arja ferm aktar friska tikkuntrasta mas-sħana tal-baħar. It-temp għal Ħadd għandu jaqlebgħal aħjar. Pero. jista' jkun hemm il-bżonn li noħorġu iktar twissijiet għal temp ħażin tul il-bidu tal-ġimgħa d-dieħla.
