Weather in Malta in March
Weather Changing Already – Still Cold – Sunny!
The weather in Malta in March gets warmer and daylight is longer to order to enjoy the beauty of Malta. In our opinion, it is a good time to come over.
March is still the month of low tourist arrivals so the island will still be fairly quiet. During this time the Maltese also go for their first swim, but the sea will still be cold. March is the month of springtime and hence it will be perfect for a walk in the countryside.

What Should I Wear & Pack?
Weather In Malta In March
With an average of 9 days of rain and around 7 hours a day of sunshine, the weather during March can sometimes be unpredictable. We recommend packing a good mix of summer and winter clothing and shoes.
- Lighter clothes, and a light jacket will be useful as the nights are still relatively fresh. Since the weather can change from night to day, we recommend getting a couple of warm jacket.
- No thick clothes are necessary as temperatures increase, but bad weather is possible with winds and rain so still be prepared.
- A good pair of waterproof shoes is always much better than
sandals or sports shoes, especially if you intend walking a lot around the
historical locations.
- An umbrella is important to get with you for
rainy days.
- There can be good sunny days which will make you want to visit one of Malta's beaches and sunbathe for a few hours. The sea temperature is still very cold and could be rough.
- If the hotel you are staying at has an indoor pool, sandals and flip-flops are useful.

During this month Malta experiences drastic changes in weather. One day it can be stormy and the next day it can be very hot and sunny. During early mornings and late evenings, the weather is still fresh.
Beaches around the island start to be scattered with a few Maltese and tourists who sunbathe or also go for a short swim. The sun during March can be quite strong so bring with you sunscreen, hat and sun glasses. The UV can already be around 5 to 6.
When the sun is shining, you might want to wear a t-shirt. Still carry a cardigan around your waist just in case you need it. The afternoons will be more hot than the mornings.
Days get longer as the sun sets after 18.00, with the last week of March setting at 19:00 as the clocks move one hour forward.
The change of weather from January and February is noticeable as from the morning you feel that the air is warmer. The Maltese will warm their houses less with fireplaces or heaters as they are not that damp.
Windy days are very possible and quite frequent, so are cloudy days with light and heavy rain.
