Weather in Malta in January
Being a winter month, January’s weather in Malta can be a real mix of sunshine, cloud, rain and some strong winds. Strong winds usually blow for two to three days at a time, and can feel bitingly cold, especially on cloudy days and at night. Sometimes these winds can be harsh and can reach force 7 or 8. When rain falls, however, it’s not often for the whole day, usually falling in showers in either the morning or afternoon. Although a Mediterranean country, don’t expect sunbathing conditions if you visit in January; the conditions though, are ideal for walking, sightseeing or an activity holiday, as on most days, the sun will make an appearance at some point, averaging 5.5 hours per day.
Buffalo Bill is an American Steakhouse, and gets its name from William F Cody (February 26, 1846 till January 10, 1917), one of the more colourful figures from the bygone times of Wild West.
Marijuana, known as weed, cannabis, spliff etc, is an illegal drug in Malta. Maltese law takes a harsh stance against illicit drugs of any kind, even those categorised as “soft” drugs elsewhere. Importation of illegal drugs should not even be contemplated by anyone, even if it’s a small amount for personal use.
In Malta, Oriental cuisine is well-liked, with a good number of Chinese restaurants dotted around the islands, catering for both locals and tourists. Many of these establishments are found in resort areas such as Mellieha, Bugibba, St Julians, Marsascala and Sliema.
