Great weather - All year round
Sea temperatures are warm throughout the summer and remain so as late as October, warming again in April.
Summers are warm, dry and very sunny. The weather warms up in April, heralding in a long spell of hot, dry weather. It rarely rains from April to August. July and August are Malta's hottest months with daytime temperatures usually above 30ºC (86ºF) and quite often also above 35ºC (95ºF). The highest ever was in August 1999 when the temperature once went up to 44ºC (111ºF) in the shade at Luqa Airport. However, since humidity is rather high in Malta (due to the fact that Malta is an island) summer temperatures can feel even hotter, making it sometimes necessary to stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day. This is especially so in August and September when air conditioning is necessary even at night. However, daytime temperatures in summer are usually mitigated by cooling sea breezes, especially along the coast, but in spring and autumn a very hot and dry wind from Africa occasionally brings very high temperatures. This wind is called the sirocco, which also affects Italy and Greece, but in Malta it is usually rather drier because of the short sea track from the African coast.
Annual rainfall in Malta is rather low - approximately 600mm (24 inches) and the length of the dry season in summer is longer than in southern Italy. Malta has a very sunny climate with an average of five to six hours of sunshine a day in midwinter and over twelve hours a day in mid-summer.
