No Beach? No Problem: Here’s What To Do On A Rainy Sunday In Malta

Malta woke up to a very different kind of Sunday today, with grey skies, scattered showers and the possibility of thunderstorms replacing the usual September sunshine. But with temperatures still hovering in the high 20s, staying locked indoors all day definitely isn’t the only option.

So, no beach? No problem. Here are a few very Maltese ways to spend a rainy Sunday.

Go For A Long Sunday Drive

Rainy weather, your favourite playlist and nowhere in particular to be.

Take the scenic route, drive through some of Malta’s quieter villages, head towards Dingli, Mellieħa or the south of the island and enjoy Malta looking completely different under dark skies.

Bonus points if the drive ends with coffee and cake.

Make Sunday Lunch The Main Event

If there was ever weather made for a long Sunday lunch, this is it.

Book a table somewhere cosy, gather the family or your friends, order far too much food and accept that lunch might casually turn into late afternoon.

Coffee, Dessert And People-Watching

Find a café with a good view, order something warm and watch everyone outside attempt to calculate whether they can make it back to their car before the next downpour.

Peak rainy-day entertainment.

Or Simply Embrace The Lazy Sunday

Sometimes the weather gives you permission to do absolutely nothing.

Film on. Takeaway ordered. Sofa secured.

Malta may be taking a temporary break from beach weather, but that doesn’t mean Sunday has to be cancelled.

Yes, You Can Still Go For An Ice Cream

It might be raining, but this is still Malta in September. Temperatures remain warm enough to justify an ice cream, gelato or granita without having to explain yourself to anyone.

Arguably, the shorter queues make it even better.

So, what are you getting up to on this rainy Sunday?
