Malta is known for its sunny weather, but this means that it can struggle with water shortages, especially during dry periods. This lack of rainfall can affect agriculture, water resources, and the environment, making it important to understand rainfall patterns to manage these challenges effectively. Through this project, we wanted to study the frequency, intensity, and variability of rainfall throughout January which is supposed to be a month of rain. Unfortunately, January 2024 turned out to be an almost rainless month. This poses several problems for Malta.
