December - March

In the winter months of December to March visitors will find better value flights and accommodations (outside of Christmas and New Year). The temperatures are mild, generally in the 60`s F, and between the wind and average hours of sunshine (around 5 to 6 daily) it can make the climate chilly. This is typically the wettest time of the year. The winters can be somewhat inconsistent, one year the weather remains relatively sunny, the next you could be unlucky with cloudy and rainy weather. It can be a bit of a gamble to go in the winter months.

It won`t be warm enough to swim unfortunately, but there are still plenty of things you can do in Malta in Winter. We will admit, there are more things to do in summer, but it all comes down to your personal preference. Don`t expect to go ice-skating or mountain skiing in Malta, but if you visit in the winter months, there are many activities such as museums, Popeye Village, off-road adventures, bike riding and hiking, horse riding, just to name a few.
