Hi Lorna,

I guess enjoying the best climate does not mean it's going to be hot all the time. A couple of years ago we were driving by Mosta at this time of the year when it went really cold and started to hail so badly that it was several inches deep! The locals said it had snowed but it was hail.

However, the Maltese kids did make 'icemen' from the hail which soon melted and formed 'rivers' along the roads. Not long after the sun came out and it was a lovely afternoon,
