The Meteorological Office says Malta weather will turn wetter from Sunday, with thunderstorms and rain showers expected for five consecutive days. People in Malta should also see lower temperatures and stronger winds as the week goes on.
Sunday is forecast to reach 30°C before the rain pattern settles in. By Monday, the maximum temperature is expected to fall to 27°C, with winds reaching Force 6 at times and further showers forecast through Tuesday.

The pattern then shifts again on Wednesday and Thursday, when light rain showers are forecast and temperatures are expected to peak at around 28°C. Friday brings the first sign of a slight lift, with the temperature forecast to rise again to 30°C and partly cloudy conditions otherwise expected.
For anyone planning the week outdoors, the main operational change is the stretch itself: the wet spell begins on Sunday and runs through Friday, with the strongest wind conditions expected on Monday and Tuesday. That means the first half of the week carries the most unsettled weather, while the second half stays damp but a little less cold.
Malta dry summer
The forecast comes after a completely dry meteorological summer in 2026, Malta’s first since 2020. The recently concluded rainfall year was also the third consecutive year in which Malta received less rain than the climatic norm of 545.3mm.
That combination leaves a simple question for people in Malta: whether five days of rain will be enough to change dry-summer conditions in any meaningful way. The forecast points to a clear shift in temperature, wind and daily rain chances, but the total rainfall still matters more than the fact that showers are now on the calendar.
