Hot days in Malta. Ruins, markets and hills are a morning job. Midday sightseeing is how people remember August for the wrong reason.
Nights stay warm. Air-con, if you can get it, is part of the brief. A jumper for August in Malta is almost always a waste of bag space.
Rain
Rain is not the story in Malta in August. Pack for sun. A shower would be news, not a plan.
