Malta Weather - Weather Conditions in Malta and Gozo throughout the
Year.
This Malta and Gozo weather page is intended for the
visitor to Malta and Gozo, the Maltese Islands, and has been created in
response to numerous enquiries as to what the weather in Malta would be
like during any particular month. We hope this weather page will give
you an idea of what to expect during your stay - what clothing to bring
with you, which weather-dependent activities may or may not be possible
during your stay, maybe even help you decide the best time of year to
visit.
We
have listed average temperatures, and reasonable maximum/minimum values
which do not take into consideration exceptional deviations. Surface sea
temperature is also listed, and average rainfall. We have also given a
more general overview of the weather situation that may be expected,
which translates the numbers into maybe more meaningful comments, and
included in the overview are such factors as relative humidity, which
have a very noticeable effect on perceived temperatures.
For
"Malta" read all of the Maltese Islands, as there are no real regional
variations.
Naturally, while we hope this Malta weather page will
be of great help, weather is, of course, unpredictable and may not
exactly follow the guidelines below!

Weather in Malta in
January |
|
January's weather is mix of days of bright sunshine, interspersed by
periods of cloudy skies and rain, possibly lasting 2-3 days or more,
although generally these rainy days offer periods of respite - a
clear morning or afternoon. An 11 degree day is considered "cold" -
which puts things into a better perspective for our Northern
visitors. |

Following on May's trend, temperatures rise even more, and light

Weather in Malta in August |
| Much
like July's weather, hot and dry, by early afternoon the only place
to be is at the beach, although many locals tend to stay indoors and
visit at a later hour. With a southerly wind, high humidity may
cause discomfort. |

Weather in Malta in
September |
|
September is still hot, maybe less so than July and August, but with
a greater propensity for days of high relative humidity which makes
it feel much hotter than it actually is, and can occasionally even
make sleep difficult without air-conditioning or one being in the
direct airflow of a fan. However there are two faces to September -
the heat and effective continuation of Summer, and the first rains
of the season, towards the latter half of the month, which also
bring with them a sudden drop in temperature towards more
comfortable, October levels and
a clearer, refreshing atmosphere.
These rains generally only last a day or two. |

Weather in Malta in October |
| October
offers weather that is still very suitable for the beach, with
excellent sea temperatures, yet more comfortable for general
sight-seeing. During the latter half one may witness the effect of
the rains, when the previously brown countryside turns into a bright
shade of green. |

Weather in Malta in November |
|
November is one of the wetter months, although still warm and
offering very many beautifully sunny days, at great contrast to the
weather situation in most of Europe. The (not very) brave may even
take a dip in the slowly cooling seas on these days. |

Weather in Malta in December |
| Cooler
than November, just as wet, yet the temperature on most days is
still holding out due to the warming effect of the surrounding sea.
Again plenty of sunny days, but one may get unlucky with an unusual
number of grey days. |
