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 - <

January
We have not onlt complained about it being cold in our yearly observations but also commented that some days were quite warm.
there will be a good few warm and sunny days but as the "days" are short the sun is only warm for a few hours
we've had 2 very wet Januarys and 2 quite dry ones
there are going to be at least a couple of days of very strong, very cold winds that bring very rough seas
February
February seems to be the month when we feel the cold most but can still expect a few warm days
there will be a good few warm and sunny days but as the "days" are short the sun is only warm for a few hours
in our observations at the time we have commented less about rain in February than in the preceding months so has probably been less wet
but conversely each February we have complained about the cold winds
March
Expect both cold and warm days and even the odd hot day- with it possibly getting warmer as the month progresses - but not neccessarily
There will be a few nice sunny day but
there will be some very wet ones
and there will still be cold strong winds on a few days

our observations suggest that by April its getting warmer on average but there can still be cold days
