Malta records 97% humidity as haze blankets islands

Malta woke to humidity of 97% on Thursday morning, with haze cutting visibility across parts of the islands, Lovin Malta reported. The outlet pointed to local weather updates and imagery from the Facebook page It-Temp Madwarna.

The same updates described a muggy, sticky start, with much of the skyline under haze and visibility reduced in some areas. Forecasters linked the conditions to hotter weather expected over the coming days as the warmer spell settles in.

GuideMeMalta carried the same morning reading, also attributing the 97% figure to It-Temp Madwarna and noting the heavy, sticky feel in the air.

What it means on the Sliema waterfront

For anyone walking the promenade, waiting at bus stops or ferry landings, or working outdoors, the practical advice in the morning coverage was straightforward: stay hydrated and treat the muggy air as the front end of a hotter spell rather than a one-off curiosity.
