Good weather is expected for everyone on Christmas Day, with the Maltese Islands set to wake up to sunshine and pleasant temperatures on December the 25th.
The Met Office said that the maximum air temperature is forecast to reach 19°C on Christmas Eve and 20°C Christmas Day, while the minimum night-time temperature is set to hover around 13°C-15°C during the weekend.
It added that a browse through the Meteorological Office’s archives reveals that the highest Christmas Day temperature on record was registered in 2009 at 23.6°C, while the lowest temperature had dipped to a chilly 3.7°C back in 1986.
While all will be mainly sunny and bright, not all will be calm on Christmas Eve, as the Northwesterly wind is expected to be rather strong to strong, becoming rather strong later in the day.
However, Christmas Day is not expected to be as windy, with the Me Office forecasting that a moderate to rather strong Northwesterly wind will blow throughout the day.
The Met Office advised that no rain is on the cards for the coming days, with a look at past Christmases showing that it has been eight years since it last rained on Christmas Day. Back in 2014, the Meteorological Office had measured 0.2 mm of precipitation on December 25th.
Mild temperatures and sunny weather are expected to extend into the coming week, with highs of 21°C forecast until Tuesday and light to moderate winds blowing from Boxing Day onwards.

Thank-you for the good news of a sunny sky, at least it may elevate my feelings a little bit for I always find myself down. I wish and pray that all those who might feel a little bit lonely and abandoned to go out for a walk, see nature, meet people and exchange a few words. Remember you might be lonely, but you are never alone, there are many like you.
