Malta’s Meteorological Office says meteorological summer is ending as a second heatwave affects the Maltese Islands, with an orange weather warning still in force. The warning comes as temperatures remain high and conditions are affected by Saharan dust moving across the region.
Both outlets report that air quality monitoring shows poor to very poor conditions in parts of Malta, linked to the dust. The dust also contributes to limiting how high temperatures reach, according to the Meteorological Office’s assessment. Gozo News frames the end of summer as occurring on “a particularly hot note,” while Malta Today emphasizes the combination of the heatwave conclusion and the ongoing orange warning. Neither outlet cites changes to the warning beyond noting that it is in effect at the time of reporting.
