A brief hailstorm struck Malta and Gozo this morning, nothing unusual for this time of year, except that it was the heaviest burst of rain for months.

Just yesterday the Met Office said February was the warmest and driest since records started being kept in 1923.

Unsettled weather is forecast to persist through the weekend.
