Climate & Weather Guide in Malta

Malta has a classic Mediterranean climate that is strongly moderated by the surrounding sea, with hot, dry summers and short, mild, wetter winters. The country is very small and geographically compact, so climate differences are limited across the islands. Recent climate references place Malta in the Köppen-Geiger Csa category, and long-term climate data show very warm summer highs, mild winter temperatures, high humidity, and abundant sunshine. For residents and expats, the climate is appealing for outdoor living, long beach seasons, and generally comfortable winters, though summer heat, humidity, and seasonal dryness can feel intense.
