Malta is smack bang in the middle of the Mediterranean so when July rolls around, expect it to be hot. Highs are averagely about 32C and lows are around 22C. You will find blue skies with little to no rain. It is not known for being particularly windy so the hot and dry days can be quite stuffy if you are in the cities.

What should I pack for a holiday in Malta during July?
Some of Malta's most popular sights are churches like the Cathedral in Valletta. Make sure you have clothes that cover you knees and shoulders to enter. You may also want them to visit some of the underground attractions (the war tunnels for example). It can be a bit cooler down there. If you are planning to tae a dip in some of the most popular swimming spots in Malta (Paradise Bay, St Peter's Pool or the Blue Lagoon) you will need to remember an umbrella or beach cover and plenty of sun cream. There is very little shade, especially in the rocky swimming spots. It might also be worth bringing water shoes to protect your feet from the rocks. A hat or umbrella will keep you from a sore pink parting when you are visiting the ancient ruins in the centre of the island or waiting for buses around the island. Tap water can taste a little odd for visitors as it is desalinated sea water, bringing a filter water bottle could eliminate some of this.

What's great about Malta in July?
If you are after a sunny holiday then Malta in July is ideal. You can visit knowing it'll be sunny for most of your trip. You can also enjoy lovely warm evenings eating al fresco and people watching. If you are swimming, the water will be warm enough to relax in. To experience some unique Maltese culture, you can keep an eye out for local festivals that take place in July. For example, Mellieha has a feast every Friday. If you are after something a little more highbrow, the Malta International Arts Festival features concerts, dance shows and art installations from Maltese performers and artists from around the world.
