Humidity
Malta’s tough weather is nothing about temperature and all about humidity.
When it breaches 75%, and frequently it does a lot, this is more than you can make in a controlled environment of your clean, central european bathroom. Now, add a secret sauce: either a bit of warmth or a bit of wind and one is either cooked or frozen. Humans eventually adjust to everything, and this mix brings a feeling of a completely different climate to the one we’re used to.
