Qormi, one of Malta’s oldest and most historic towns, receives around 550 mm (about 22 inches) of rain a year, in keeping with the island-wide Mediterranean pattern of a dry, hot summer and a wetter autumn and winter. Its central, low-lying position within Malta’s dense urban core means it can be particularly prone to flash flooding during the most intense storms, when heavy short-term rain overwhelms streets built up over centuries without modern drainage capacity in mind. Because the island’s built environment amplifies routine storm impacts, radar tracking of approaching rain bands is a genuinely useful practical tool here. Malta’s national meteorological office operates the country’s radar network.
