Malta set at the heart of the Mediterranean with a climate that is significantly influenced by the surrounding sea.   Malta's climate is heavily influenced by it's neighbours of Southern Italy, Africa and Southern Greece. The high daytime temperatures are cooled by sea breezes that also affect Italy and Greece but Malta is often drier due it's proximity with the African coast.
