Malta is the perfect destination for a September getaway, with its stunning beaches, warm climate and rich cultural heritage, making it an ideal place to explore and relax.

How warm is it in Malta during September?
The temperature is extremely stable in September with average highs of 27℃ and lows just 2℃ lower at 25℃. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Malta during September?
On average, there will be 3 rainy days during the month, amounting to 49.4mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. Due to the high temperature and humidity, you might expect lots of thunderstorms, however they're actually fairly infrequent at this time of year. On average, September will see just 3 days that produce a storm.
Is it windy in Malta during September?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a gentle breeze that increases to moderate at times during September. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.
How warm is the sea in Malta during September?
The water around Malta reaches a very pleasant 26℃ during September. This is very warm, and will feel bath-like. People who normally feel the cold will find this temperature perfectly acceptable. The hot air temperature and relatively high humidity will mean that you will feel comfortably warm when coming out of the water.
