Malta has a Mediterranean climate with fantastic weather year-round. Summers are hot, while winters are generally mild. 

During summer (June to August), average temperatures reach higher than 84°F (30°C). The sun can be scorching during midsummer, so it's best to stay indoors during the hottest hours of the day, use high-SPF sunscreen and stay hydrated.

Malta experiences very little rainfall, with most of the wet weather occurring in winter (December to February). Winters on the island are a bit chilly but not too bad, with average lows reaching 50°F (10°C).
