RE: Does It Rain In Malta? page 2This is a discussion thread · 53 replies  no it really is still warm for quite a while after September and when I say ‘warm’ I mean above 20 degrees celcius. I once went swimming in March and it was freezing, so I know the difference. October is still fine for swimming, I’ve never tried in November or December, but then there’s no way I’d swim before mid-May, but even in April there are lots of tourists on the beaches in St Julians swimming and enjoying the sun so I think what I call warm is much much hotter than what a lot of tourists consider ‘warm’.Where is good to visit in winter time? Are there other things to do if you can’t swim on the beach? There you go A 'Things to do in winter' thread : http://whatsinmalta.com/Malta/MaltaInWinterThingsToDo/bpp/post.htm  Lol ‘those guys you see in Russia who swim in ice’ I think if there was any ice anywhere near the sea in Malta it would be a national disaster!! I think so too – panic in the streets if there was any sign of ice About the rain, it does rain between October and March in Malta but like other people have said, they have big storms and then it clears up again, there isn’t the ‘drizzle’ that goes on for days and days or weeks and weeks. I agree about the sunshine – there’s so much sun that you don’t really feel that it’s ‘deep winter’ at any point which is what really makes it an easy and comfortable place to spend the winter months or just get a very welcome break from grey skies.I don’t! I hate the rain, all I see is rain. We had three weeks of sun this summer  . grey skies suck ... Give me the sun anytime.Thanks for all the feedback everyone !! So is this right? May – September = hot with no rain and lots and lots of sun October – December ? Some rain, a bit colder lots of sunshine? January – April ? Colder (how cold is it?) damp but still lots of sunshine? 1 commentYep, that’s about right actually J I’d say like this : June – August = very very hot with no rain and lots and lots and lots of sun September – still 32 degrees C average, but quite humid and some clouds – tiny tiny bit cooler evenings October – weather starts to change but still around 24-27 degrees during the day, more chance of rain, more clouds, cooler evenings but lots and lots of sun and some days where the sun will still burn you easily. You can wear a long-sleeved jumper or even light jacket in the evening. You can still swim although there may be clouds and some wind. Sea temperature is around 23 -25 degrees C. November – December : You can swim, but it looks like winter and the summer-atmosphere has gone (if you’re a local). It rains sometimes and there are clouds sometimes but it’s till around 17 -20 degrees C and there’s lots of sunshine. Can be lots of wind. January – March : Gets down to around 12 degrees C in jan and feb, - too cold to swim, can be damp and windy but lots of bright clear sunshine. Once it was only 7 degrees C and everyone was very shocked and complaining. March starts to feel like winter’s ending as everyone knows it’s April soon, so all the locals join gyms. April : heading back to spring – tourists are swimming, locals are wearing jackets, lots and lots of sunshine. Locals are seeing progress at the gym. It always tends to rain or be grey on Good Friday, and the sun generally comes out on Easter Sunday. (seriously!! – every year) May – even the locals are starting to swim, and people are at the gym more as they want to look good on the beach which is in a month’s time. Local girls are travelling in groups to remote farmhouses in Gozo where they can lie around with 10 -15 friends in the sun near a pool working on their tan without anyone (males) ever having to see them looking at all pale on the beach J Lots of sunshine. June: everyone’s out in force at the beach in their new shorts and flip-flops with a slight tan and hoping the gym has paid-off Here's a link to our weather article (more detail) : Malta Weather I made graphics too  Show more
