Climate & weather in Mallorca – monthly values, bathing temperatures & best time to travel<\/h1>\n

Mallorca spoils us with a subtropical-Mediterranean climate: long, dry, very warm summers, short, mild winters and around 300 days of sunshine<\/strong> per year. Thanks to the Serra de Tramuntana<\/strong>, a lot of rainfall accumulates in the northwest – the east and south remain noticeably drier. Here we bring together all the data, tips and monthly guides so that we can plan our trip with pinpoint accuracy. <\/p>\n

      Regional microclimates – where it feels like<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • \n

        Serra de Tramuntana (northwest):<\/strong> cooler, more humid, frequent cloud cover; snow possible on peaks in winter – ideal for hiking<\/strong> in spring\/autumn.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Bay of Palma & southwest:<\/strong> lots of sun, sheltered from the wind; early start<\/strong> to the bathing season, pleasant transitional periods.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        East coast (Llevant):<\/strong> mostly drier<\/strong>, constant summer breezes; many shallow bays with quickly warmed water.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        North (Alc\u00fadia\/Pollen\u00e7a):<\/strong> somewhat windier; occasional short episodes of heavy rain in late summer\/autumn.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Interior of the island (Pla de Mallorca):<\/strong> greater amplitude<\/strong>: hot days, cooler nights; highest heat peaks in summer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        South\/Migjorn & Es Trenc:<\/strong> sunny<\/strong>, long beaches, clear, warm water until October.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Seasonal calendar – what to expect and when<\/h2>\n

        Winter (December-February)<\/h3>\n

        Mild days (~9-10 \u00b0C \u00d8), cool nights; quiet beaches, clear visibility. Almond blossom<\/strong> from mid\/late February<\/strong> bathes the island in white-ros\u00e9. Sea 14-15 \u00b0C<\/strong> – swimming possible, but fresh. Ideal for cities, culinary delights, wellness<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

        Spring (March-May)<\/h3>\n

        Greenery, flowers, hiking & cycling<\/strong> at their best. April<\/strong> still brings changeable showers<\/strong>; May<\/strong> already delivers highs around 23 \u00b0C<\/strong>, water temperature ~17-20 \u00b0C<\/strong> (shallow bays warmer). Perfect for active exploration<\/strong> without the heat. <\/p>\n

        Summer (June-August)<\/h3>\n

        Stable, very dry<\/strong> (minimum rainfall in July), hot<\/strong> afternoons(up to 35 \u00b0C<\/strong>, sometimes higher inside). The Embat sea breeze<\/strong> is refreshing. UV index very high<\/strong> – take sun protection & siesta planning into account. Water 21-25 \u00b0C<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

        Fall (September-November)<\/h3>\n

        September<\/strong>: warm in late summer, sea still ~24 \u00b0C<\/strong>. October<\/strong>: peak of rain<\/strong> (short, heavy showers possible), but pleasant 23 \u00b0C<\/strong> and empty bays. November<\/strong>: mild, atmospheric, ideal for pleasure & hiking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
