Maltese Weather

The weather has been quite changeable lately (although hey, Maltese weather often is).

On Thursday, I was waiting on a bus stop at lunch time and the sun was beating down, when suddenly I felt a blast of cool air, like when you open a fridge. I looked around, and no fridges were in evidence, so it was a natural cool breeze. Aaaah!

Random people have been complaining to me of the heat, but I'm sitting here at my PC at 8am drinking coffee, and guess what? It's THUNDERING. The forecast is light showers, so here's hoping the country gets to cool down a bit.

Summer is definitely on the way, and as usual I am wondering what it will be like. Last summer wasn't so bad in terms of heatwaves (thank goodness, because we had lots of wedding-related running around to do) but you never can tell what the next one will be like.

This will be my very first summer of living in a place with airconditioning (the previous owners of this flat installed a unit in the master bedroom) but giving the ever-rising cost of electricity, I don't intend running it on a regular basis. It will be nice for the really hot nights though - you know, the ones when you get in to bed and the sheets are hot.

That reminds me, we need to go buy a couple of fans for the kitchen and living room so we're ready when the hot weather hits. They will go on the shopping list along with a kitchen table, lol.
