October weather forecast
Malta

October in Malta marks the full swing of the autumn season, characterized by a further decrease in temperatures and a notable increase in rainfall. Daytime temperatures typically range from 23°C (73.4°F) to 25°C (77°F), while nighttime temperatures decrease to between 18°C (64.4°F) and 20°C (68°F). Malta's southern Mediterranean location plays a significant role in maintaining these mild autumn temperatures.

Rainfall in October sees a significant increase compared to September, with an average of about 77mm (3.03") falling throughout the month. The number of rainy days increases, and the archipelago experiences roughly 7 hours of daily sunshine. These changes mark the progression of Malta's transitional phase from the dry, sunny Mediterranean summer towards a wetter, milder autumn season.

Cities across Malta, including the capital city, Valletta, and the northern island of Gozo, share this weather pattern in October. The decrease in temperatures and increase in rainfall are experienced uniformly across the archipelago.

Compared to September, October sees a continuation of the autumn transition with further temperature decreases and rainfall increases. Looking ahead to November, these trends persist as Malta moves deeper into the autumn season. Despite the transition, seawater temperatures in October remain relatively warm, averaging from 22°C (71.6°F) to 24°C (75.2°F), enabling the enjoyment of water activities, albeit at a reduced intensity compared to the summer months.
