A Glimpse of Summer: Sunday Temperatures Set to Hit 26°C

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to break out the summer wardrobe, this weekend is looking like your best bet. While the week starts with a brisk breeze, the Maltese Islands are heading toward a significant warm-up, peaking with a glorious, sun-drenched Sunday.

Mid-Week: Holding Steady Through the Wind

The first half of the week remains relatively stable but energetic. Both Wednesday and Thursday will see highs of 23°C, though strong winds (reaching up to Force 6 from the East) will keep things feeling a bit more refreshed.

If you’re heading out, keep an eye on the UV index, which is already climbing to a Level 9. Even with the wind, the sun is packing a punch, so don’t forget the SPF.

The Friday Shift

As we hit Friday, the winds are expected to calm significantly, shifting to a light Force 2-3. This change in airflow allows the heat to settle in comfortably. We can expect:

• Highs of 25°C (feeling like 25°C)

• Mainly sunny skies

• UV Index 9

Sunday: The Star of the Week

The highlight of the 7-day forecast is undoubtedly Sunday, May 10th. Meteorologists are predicting a “glimpse of summer” as the thermometer climbs to 26°C.

With variable light winds transitioning to a gentle North-Easterly breeze, it will be the ideal day for outdoor activities, coastal walks, or a first seasonal dip for the brave. The UV index remains high at Level 9, so while the heat will feel wonderful, sun protection remains essential.
