April and early May are spring-cool with patchy rain. We&rsquo;d book May or September every time.</div> </div> </div> <p>Malta is a year-round destination in the strict sense — restaurants stay open, planes still land, Valletta still looks like Valletta in February. But the experience changes more than people expect from one month to the next. The Blue Lagoon in October is empty water and limestone; in August it&rsquo;s a floating queue. The Tallinja bus to Mdina is a calm 30 minutes in March and a sweaty hour in July. And the price of a hotel in Sliema swings by 60% across the calendar.</p>
