Rain Forecast All Week After 118-Day Summer Drought

After enduring an unusually long 118-day summer drought, Malta is finally set to see a change in weather with rain forecast for the entire week. The extended dry spell had left the islands parched, raising concerns over water reserves, agriculture and the increasing impact of climate change. The upcoming rainfall is therefore expected to bring much-needed relief, although it also prompts caution over potential flooding and infrastructure strain after such a prolonged period without significant precipitation.
