The climate of Comino (Malta)
Comino is a small island with a surface area of 3.5 square kilometers.
Comino is situated between Malta and Gozo. Comino is named after the
cumin that grows here; it gives the island a characteristic scent. The
island of Comino is a popular daytrip especially because the Blue
Lagoon can be visited here. This turquoise blue lagoon is one of the
most popular tourist attractions in Malta. The people who travel to
Comino come here to walk, enjoy the sunshine or for snorkeling in the
Blue Lagoon. Snorkeling in the Blue Lagoon is very beautiful. Several
caves can be discovered along the waterline. On the other side of the
island the Santa Maria Bay is situated for those who think the Blue
Lagoon is too crowded.
Comino has a warm Mediterranean climate just like the other islands
belonging to Malta. Summers are very warm and dry. Winters are much
colder, but very cold temperatures are uncommon. Extremes in
temperatures hardly occur because Malta is situated in the
Mediterranean Sea. The ever present sea wind is responsible for a
cooling breeze during the summer. During the winter temperatures are a
few degrees lower than on the main island because of the wind.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
