Weather in Malta in June
June in Malta marks the official start of summer, with hot, sunny days melting into warm evenings; ideal for al-fresco dining in a restaurant or cafe by the sea. By the beginning of June, the spring rains have normally subsided and the month marks the start of the dry season. In the Mediterranean region the summers are hot and generally, there is very little rainfall between now and the end of August.
In Malta, tourists from overseas start flocking to the island for a holiday in the sun, and hotels and resorts start to bustle with activity.

Although international call rates have come down in recent years, calls to or from mobile phones whilst abroad can still be very high. If you’re coming to Malta for a holiday and intend to use your mobile phone whilst here, it could be worth looking into obtaining a Maltese or international SIM card.
