Climate Chart of Valletta, Malta

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures reach their highest point in August, at 27.1 °C. This is a monthly average, not a daytime high, so it should not be read as the temperature visitors will experience throughout each day. The lowest monthly means are shared by January / February, at 13.4 °C. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly mean temperatures is 19.6 °C; neither figure captures day-to-day swings or the conditions of a specific visit.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in November, at 2.71 mm/day, and lowest in July, at 0.03 mm/day. These are daily averages for the respective months, not monthly rainfall totals, and they do not show how often rain falls or guarantee a dry day. The unweighted mean across the calendar months is 1.01 mm/day of daily rainfall. It offers a broad summary, but does not replace the month-specific figures when considering likely travel conditions.

Sunshine

Average daily sunshine duration is greatest in June, at 13.24 hours/day, and least in December, at 7.51 hours/day. The unweighted mean across calendar months is 10.40 hours/day per day. Sunshine duration is not the same as day length, and monthly averages cannot promise the sunshine available on a particular date.

Snow

The highest monthly mean of daily snowfall occurs in February, at 0.06 mm/day; the unweighted mean across calendar months is 0.01 mm/day. These small recorded averages do not establish how many days have snowfall, snow depth or snow cover, and cannot indicate skiing conditions.

Best Travel Time Guide for Valletta, Malta: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, July is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 0.03 mm/day. This average does not guarantee dry days or quantify rain frequency, so keep flexible plans and check forecasts close to travel. If cooler monthly mean temperatures are the priority, consider January / February, when the monthly mean is 13.4 °C. This describes an average rather than daytime highs or the range of temperatures a visitor may encounter. For outdoor sightseeing planned around sunshine duration, June has the highest mean at 13.24 hours/day per day; December has the lowest, at 7.51 hours/day. These are sunshine-duration averages, not measures of day length or guarantees of clear weather.

When preparing for rain, note that mean daily rainfall is highest in November, at 2.71 mm/day. This is not a monthly total and cannot predict rain on an individual day, so packing a light rain layer and checking the forecast are more useful than assuming conditions from the average alone. Recorded snowfall has its highest monthly mean of daily amounts in February, at 0.06 mm/day. The average does not show snowfall frequency, accumulation or snow cover, so it should not be used to infer conditions for a particular outing.
