The best time to go to Malta

Want to enjoy a blissful holiday in Malta? The peak season is during the summer months of July and August when the temperature hovers around 30°C. It's a popular time for sun-seekers, but beware, it can be crowded.

If you prefer your climates a touch milder and your destinations a bit quieter, consider visiting during the pleasant spring months of April through to June or the beautifully mild autumn months of September and October. During these periods, the weather is warm and inviting - averaging 23°C - and you'll avoid the heaving crowds of peak season.

For those who like it even cooler and don't mind a splash of rain, winter may be your best bet. It's an ideal time to explore Malta's sights without the crowds.
