What to pack for Malta

When packing for Malta year-round, it's important to consider the warm Mediterranean climate.

Light and breathable clothing like t-shirts, shorts, and dresses are essential for the summer months, which can get extremely hot. Don't forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen for added protection from the sun. Even in the summer, it's a good idea to bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings.

For the cooler months, such as late fall and winter, bring layers like long-sleeve shirts, sweaters, and a waterproof jacket due to the potential for rain. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, especially if you plan to explore the island's historic sites and rugged terrain. Additionally, swimsuits are essential for visiting Malta's beautiful beaches at any time of year.

Being mindful of the cultural norms, it's also a good idea to pack some modest clothing for visiting churches and other religious sites.

Malta has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters.

The summer temperatures often reach the mid-30s Celsius, and humidity levels can be high. Winter temperatures rarely drop below 10 degrees Celsius, and rain showers are common, particularly in November and December.

Overall, Malta enjoys a pleasant climate with over 300 days of sunshine per year.
