On Saturday, the Meteorological Office was forecasting a rainless New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, but matters seem to have changed.

According to the Malta International Airport website, rain is expected on both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, as can be seen in the graphic below.

Temperatures will continue to be wintry, with a low of 9 degrees on New Year’s Eve.

And, although the highest temperature on New Year’s Day is listed as being 13 degrees, it will feel like 10 degrees.

So put on your gloves and scarves, and prepare the umbrella.
