Malta Weather This Week, What to Expect If You’re Landing Now
Valletta Waterfront
If you’ve just stepped off the plane at Malta International Airport and you’re wondering what to do with that winter coat, you can put it away. Malta is having a lovely week, with mild days, warm nights, and plenty of sunshine. For mid-November, it doesn’t get much better.
Today (Tuesday) is partly cloudy with a high of 24°C and a low of 19°C. A gentle southerly breeze shifts to the south-west later on. It’s an easy first day for settling in, so take a slow walk along the Sliema promenade and get your bearings.
Wednesday is sunny with a high of 26°C and a low of 19°C, and a light south-westerly breeze. It’s the calmest day for the sea, so take the ferry over to Gozo. Wander around the Citadella in Victoria, have lunch in Xlendi, and if you’re brave, have a swim. The water is still holding onto some of the summer warmth.
Thursday is sunny again, with a high of 26°C and a low of 20°C, but the wind picks up in the afternoon. Stay on land and spend the day in Valletta. Stop for a pastizz and a coffee, and be at the Upper Barrakka Gardens by noon to hear the saluting battery fire.
Friday is partly cloudy and still warm, with a high of 26°C and a low of 20°C. The breeze moves round to the north-west during the day. In the afternoon, head inland to Mdina and watch the light change over the island from the bastions.
Saturday is partly cloudy and a little fresher, with a high of 24°C, a low of 18°C and a steady north-westerly breeze. The cooler air is good for a walk along the Dingli Cliffs at sunset. Bring a light jumper.

Sunday is partly cloudy, with a high of 23°C and a low of 17°C, and the wind dies down to almost nothing by evening. Go to the fresh fish market in Marsaxlokk in the morning, then hike over to St Peter’s Pool.
Monday is partly cloudy, with a high of 23°C, a low of 18°C and a light south-westerly. Take a dgħajsa, the traditional water taxi, across the Grand Harbour to the Three Cities. It’s pretty and a lovely way to approach the area.
The UV index is 3 all week. That’s moderate, but wear sunscreen if you’re outside for a few hours. Every evening is mild enough to walk out without a coat. Head to Strait Street in Valletta, where small wine bars fill the old stone cellars. Order a glass of Gellewża red or Girgentina white with a platter of Ġbejniet cheese, and you’ll want to come back next November too.
