This page shows our impression of the weather here in Malta on a monthly basis
At the beginning its worth saying that how we feel temperature is relative to what we are used to except when it comes to excessive heat or cold, so tourists coming to Malta in winter from Northern Europe will feel warmer than the locals - hence tourists in shorts and t shirts and locals in thick coats and scarves - so bear this in mind regarding our comments re winter temperatures
This page summarises the specific comments entered at the end of each month -
