Malta’s August could finish with some serious summer highs.
Despite last weekend’s indications, Malta’s summer isn’t cooling down just yet. Long-term weather maps indicate that the rest of August will see maximum temperatures above the seasonal average of 31.7°C, with some areas potentially reaching 35°C to 36°C as the month draws to a close.
With temperatures trending higher than usual, it’s important to stay cool and hydrated while enjoying Malta’s summer. Whether you’re lounging by the beach, exploring historic towns, or attending a village festa, taking precautions against the heat is key.
Here are some tips to beat the heat:
- Hydrate constantly – water, fruit, and light snacks are essential.
- Seek shade during peak hours – typically between 12 PM and 4 PM.
- Dress light and breathable – cotton and linen are your best friends!
- Plan outdoor activities for mornings or evenings – the sun is gentler outside peak hours, although you’ll still want to wear sunblock.
As the month continues, make the most of the season, but remember to enjoy it safely!
