The Weather in Malta
Malta in Summer
Malta's high season is usually during the summer months. At this time of year, temperatures are quite high throughout the day, and the water is somewhat warmer. The only con about travelling to Malta during this time is the large amounts of tourists and students that flock to the area to learn English.
However, summer is also the best time to go partying in Malta and enjoy the many beaches and coves in an attempt to beat the heat. The average temperatures in July and August sit at around 27ºC (80ºF), accompanied by a fairly high level of humidity.
Malta in Winter
The weather in Malta during the winter months is normally fairly mild, with temperatures around 15ºC (59ºF), which on occasion may dip below 10ºC (50ºF). The only con to visiting Malta during the winter is that it can be incredibly windy.
The main advantage of travelling to Malta during the winter is the difference in prices when compared with the high season. You can find accommodation for a much more attractive price, and if you wish to see the many monuments around the islands, there won't be anywhere near as many tourists.
The best time to visit Malta
Malta is a location that caters for a variety of tourists, with many types of tourist attractions. If you're looking for a combination of beaches and cultural sites, the best time of the year to visit this island nation is during springtime. The weather is perfect for going swimming and discovering the country's monuments. September and October are also great times to visit for the aforementioned reasons.
If you're not a huge fan of the beach or partying, we recommend that you travel to Malta during the winter, as the weather is more forgiving and there won't be as many tourists.
