My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Malta Valletta 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 Valletta in May 2023 and was surprised by the cool sea breeze despite the warm sun. May averages 22°C, 20mm rain, 85% sunny days, with €15 ferry costs. Avoid summer: queues at Fort St. Elmo can take over an hour due to unmarked tour groups.
