If you\u2019re concerned that the weather won\u2019t be as favourable as when visiting later in the year, here\u2019s what you can expect between January and March to allay your worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have a saying that roughly translates into: January\u2019s cold is so bitter it can peel the skin off a donkey\u2019s back<\/em>. While this may sound alarming, locally, January is nowhere near as cold as some other parts of Europe, and definitely nothing the warm clothes in your hand luggage cannot ward off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if this is hard to believe, the data backs it up: historically the average temperatures in January have ranged between nighttime lows of 10\u00b0C and daytime highs of 15.7\u00b0C. Add in around 170 hours of sunshine throughout the month, and you have the perfect weather for exploring Gozo\u2019s countryside and charming villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to local weather lore, February is the rain-bringer that overflows the wells. But it can be argued that wells only brim over in February because of the previous months\u2019 generous rainfall. In fact, October, November and December tend to be wetter than the second month. Still, packing water-proof shoes and clothing that can save you on a rainy day is very much recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n March comes with the promise of longer days, warmer temperatures, and a spring awakening, making it our favourite month to visit in the first quarter. Daytime temperatures gain a couple of degrees over February to average a pleasant 17\u00b0C and more sunshine hours brighten each day, giving you plenty of opportunities to make the most of the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/baronholidayhomes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/gozo-countryside.jpg\")
