Field notes
Mediterranean — hot dry summers (June–September, 23–26°C average, peaks above 30°C inland), mild wet winters (December–March, 12–15°C). Malta sits further south than mainland Europe so winter is meaningfully milder than Spain or Italy. Spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November) are the cleanest working windows. Humidity stays high year-round (75–80%) due to the small-island geography — winter feels damper than Greek or Iberian peers despite the temperature advantage.
