Mdina in February
Not the best time
Still winter in Malta with unpredictable weather. The upside is rock-bottom hotel rates and zero crowds in Mdina's ancient alleyways.
Weather
February stays chilly with persistent rainfall and occasional storms rolling in from the north. The medieval streets remain damp most days, though you might catch glimpses of early wildflowers in the surrounding countryside. Expect around 10 rainy days with temperatures struggling to reach 16°C.

All Months
April through June is pure magic in Mdina. The weather hovers around 22-25°C, perfect for wandering those stone streets without melting. Spring wildflowers bloom in the surrounding countryside, and the light is golden for photos.
September through November brings similar conditions with fewer crowds. October is particularly lovely — warm enough for outdoor dining but cool enough that you won't be sweating through every photo.
Summer gets brutal. July and August see temperatures hit 35°C, and those stone streets turn into ovens. The crowds are also at their worst. If you must visit in summer, come early morning or late afternoon.
Winter isn't terrible — Malta rarely gets truly cold. December through March averages 15-18°C, but you'll deal with more rain and shorter days. The upside? You'll practically have the city to yourself.
Here's the insider timing: arrive at 8am when the gates open, or after 4pm when the tour buses leave. Mid-morning to mid-afternoon, you'll be fighting crowds for every photo.
