My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Malta across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.

Malta · Real weather data · Updated April 2026

Best months: May, November, June — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.

I went to Malta in May 2023 and was surprised by how warm the sea felt already, despite the cool mornings. May averages 24°C, sees only 25mm rainfall, and offers 80% sunny days, with hostel stays costing around €80. I warn that car rental prices surge during peak season, and you need a local license to drive without extra fees.
