Weather
Malta
Malta keeps the bright island motif for the free day: sunny and already warm, around 23-25C this morning and about 26C this afternoon, feeling closer to 28C in the stronger sun, with rain not really part of the story. For Blue Lagoon or Comino, make it a sunscreen, water, sunglasses, hat, and shade-break day; the UV and exposed boats, rocks, and queues are the things to manage.
