D+ from my part... too rainy winters, good lows but coolish highs from January to March, plus many of cool winter rain from December to February.
Too much waiting time until the warmup, even April has an avg high under 20ºC. Although May has already a good warmup, but June gets directly too warm.
The summers are too muggy, almost 22ºC lows in July, almost 23ºC lows in August and almost 32ºC highs, although October and November have really nice temps.
December would be perfect with a high of 1.5/2ºC more. Sunshine hours are also very good.... D+ if it had a bit warmer high temps from February to April it would be an automatically B-/C+ climate.

Really?? Altea isn't too different and don't you rate that an A? Altea is less humid but still, they aren't a million miles apart.
Anyway, for me it gets an A. Brilliant sunshine, decent temperatures and just needs more storms
C+ I think summers are a bit too hot for my liking. Valencia for example is a B.
Bit too hot? I thought you hated muggy summers with such high maximums, but more with such high minimums. Altea gets an average rain of 450mm or something like that. Mostly spring and autumn rain.
I'm glad if you prefer it over Altea. This is not a versus thread. So Altea doesn't get even a C+ from you? The averages of Alicante are quite more close to your ideal climate...

Altea is quite different mate...
It doesn't have that terrible winter rain. Doesn't have such muggy summers. It has significantly higher high temps during January, February, March, April... Specially March has a quite bigger warm up.
Also it's drier: I like drier climates. Specially if they aren't rainy in the winter... For me Altea is an A-, not my ideal climate at all imho, but certainly amongst the best. But I prefer it a billion times over Malta. This doesn't mean that Malta has a bad climate, D+ is approved, but for the reasons I mentioned above I can't rate it more than D+, specially for the very muggy summers and cool highs during 3 months.
Well, it'll certainly look a fair bit greener than Altea/Alicante. Perhaps Altea is wetter than I thought and if so it might change my opinion. I thought it was exactly like Alicante in that sense
B for me. A bit hotter than I like, and dry summers aren't cool. Certainly not bad though.
