Weather in Malta in March

March in Malta is mild enough that walking is the default. This is a city-break month more than a sea-holiday month.

A country pin in March is a warning: one region of Malta will not match another. Use a city page if you already know where you are going. Compared with August and February, March sits in the middle of Malta's year.

What to expect

Daytime

Mild afternoons in Malta are the prize in March. You can eat outside on the good days. You still want something for the breeze.

This is walking weather. Shade is useful, not essential the way it is in the hot months. A long outdoor day is a reasonable plan.

Rain

Mixed skies in Malta in March. Dry days and wet days share the month. Outdoor plans need a backup, not a cancellation policy.

Pack a shell you will actually carry. The monthly table is the place for totals. This is the feel: usable, interrupted.

Evening

Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.

What to pack

  • Sun protection

  • A layer for cooler evenings
