Mediterranean with hot dry summers and mild wet winters
Valletta is one of the driest European capitals with over 300 sunny days annually. The xlokk (sirocco) wind brings Saharan heat and red-tinted skies several times yearly. Winters are mild but can bring fierce Gregale winds from the northeast. The compact city's honey-colored limestone walls amplify summer heat, making shaded streets essential.
