The Maltese Islands are about to roast (again), in this summer’s third heatwave, in the run-up to the Santa Marija weekend, with temperatures expected to reach 40°C.

That being said, according to the Meteorological Office at the Malta International Airport, on certain days the temperature will feel as high as 41°C. The seven-day forecast shows that today’s highest temperature will hit 35 degrees, but will feel like 37, as the island is swept by a south-southwest wind. As of tomorrow, the mercury will rise to 38 degrees, but will feel like no less than 40, with a west-northwest wind. In case you were hoping to feel some sort of relief during the night, we’ll have you know that the lowest temperature will be 29 degrees.
