As September creeps in, central areas of Malta were hit by heavy rainfall at around 6pm today.   

Traffic ensued, due to the rainfall which flooded the roads, in the Birkirkara bypass, amongst other areas. Minor accidents were also reported in Naxxar, causing traffic in the area too.

Areas which were mostly hit were Birkirkara, Naxxar, San Gwann and Mosta. In some areas, the rainfall continues to fall heavily. 

A manhole was also upturned in Qawra Road, Qawra, although the issue has already been reported to the Water Services Corporation.
