Which part of Malta should you choose?

There is little weather advantage in choosing Sliema over Valletta: both average 24°C by day and 21°C at night, with no rainy days in the June figures. Qawra is the warmer choice at 25°C during the day, while its nights also average 21°C. Mellieha offers slightly cooler nights at 20°C, though its daytime average of 24°C matches Sliema and Valletta. It also has 1 rainy day on average, so the difference is small rather than a reason to rule it out. Sea temperatures are 22°C across these destinations. Choose Qawra if warmth is your priority; for swimming, the temperature figures give no destination an edge.

What to expect from the heat and sunshine

June's 12.2 hours of sunshine make sun protection more useful than a heavy waterproof. Pack light daytime clothing, sunglasses and a hat, with a light layer if you tend to feel cool after dark. The daytime averages suggest warmth rather than relentless heat, but Qawra exceeds 25°C on 41% of days, so do not treat the average as a daily limit. If heat makes walking tiring, use the middle of the day for a slower pace and plan longer outings earlier or later. The 22°C sea should appeal more to travellers happy with a refreshing swim than those who want very warm water.
