Expect Malta’s weather in May and June to shift from warm spring to hot summer, with plenty of sunshine and very little rain. The live forecast above gives the current conditions, but the pattern is consistent: May starts mild and gets warmer, June is reliably hot and dry.
What’s the weather like in Malta during May?
May sees average highs climb from 22°C early in the month to 28°C by its end. Sea temperatures rise from 18°C to about 21°C, making swimming possible by the latter half. Rainfall is low – around 10 mm for the whole month – and you’ll get 10–11 hours of sunshine daily. UV levels become moderate to high, so take sun protection even in the second half of May.
And June – is it full summer already?
Yes. June averages 30–32°C during the day, with sea temperatures reaching 24°C. Rain is almost absent (under 4 mm). UV index is very high (8–10), so cover up between 11 am and 3 pm. Evenings stay warm, around 22°C, so light clothing works after dark. The Sirocco wind can occasionally push temperatures above 35°C for a day or two.
What about weather in Malta at the end of May?
