24 NEWS maltatoday | WEDNESDAY • 26 SEPTEMBER 2018 A strong Gregale wind is ex- pected to continue batter- ing Malta's east coast today, prompting the Meteorologi- cal Office at the Malta In- ternational Airport to issue a weather warning. The Met Office said that the East-Northeast wind will increase, with Force 6 to 7 winds expected. Exposed areas like Sliema, Marsalforn, Xgħajra and Marsaskala expected to suf- fer the brunt of rough seas. The Malta Red Cross, that is responsible for lifeguard duties at several of Malta's popular bays, issued a dou- ble red flag warning for the Fond Għadir coastline in Sliema and Għadira Bay in Mellieħa. St George's Bay in Paceville was issued with a red flag warning. A double red flag warning means that swimmers en- ter the sea at their own risk, while a red flag warning de- notes that the sea presents a high-risk hazard for bathers.
