The island of Malta - Climate
Winters in Malta are almost always mild.
Maltese Summers are usually warm, dry, and extremely sunny. The summer daytime temperature is often made more comfortable by a cool sea breeze, although in the spring and autumn seasons a very hot wind blowing from from Africa sometimes brings unpleasantly hot weather.
This wind is called "The Sirocco", and can also have an effect on Italy and Greece, although in Malta the air is even drier because of the short distance from the African coast.
Rainfall in Malta is low, and the summer dry season lasts longer than in southern part of Italy. Malta has an average of 5 or 6 hours of sunshine each day even in the depths of winter and in excess of 12 hours a day in summer.
