Moderate summers, Humid winters
Field notes
Mediterranean (Maltese islands) — virtually identical climate to Valletta (the islands are 25 minutes apart by ferry). Hot dry summers (June–September, 23–27°C average), mild wet winters (December–March, 12–15°C). Spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November) are the cleanest shoulder windows. Humidity stays high year-round (75–80%) due to the small-island geography.
