Climate and Weather in Mellieħa

The town’s climate is strongly influenced by the sea, offering year-round mildness and abundant sunshine, even in winter when the sun shines for an average of five or six hours a day. In short, winters are never cold (averaging 15°C), though the weather can be windy and rainy, as is often the case at the end of the year. In summer, sea breezes soften the heat, particularly in July and August, the hottest months, when temperatures can exceed 30°C.

Sea Temperatures Throughout the Year

The sea starts to become pleasant from April to May and remains so until well into the second half of autumn. In winter, while the Mediterranean is far from freezing, cool northerly winds lower both air and water temperatures.
