Mallorca Property Partners Blog

If you are reading this blog you probably know already that Mallorca enjoys Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summers. Each season is different with peak temperatures and nearly 11 hours a day of sunshine in July and August coinciding with the peak tourist season.

Increasingly however people come out-of-season. Even in December and January the temperatures are quite mild averaging around 14 to 15 degrees – its more chilly in the evenings at this time of year but quite often possible to eat outdoors in a T-shirt during the daytime.

For many the nicest times of year are the spring and autumn months, with less tourists and less humidity but still many beautiful sunny days. The lowest rainfall tends to be in July and the highest amount of rain falls in October, November and December.

Temperatures in Mallorca rarely fall below zero. Occasionally there are brief snowfalls in the mountains and this winter the snow was thick enough for some enthusiasts to get their snowboards out. This is rare though and Mallorca is not recommended as a winter sports destination!

Regional variations

There is slightly more rain in the North and Northwest where the orientation of the island and the micro-climates created by the Traumuntana Mountains have an influence. The benefit to these areas however is that they get more cooling breezes during the hottest and most humid times of the year.

Overall the same influences mean the average temperature is generally slightly higher in the Southwest, South and Southeast than the North and Northwest. It is not a dramatic difference and for many the slightly cooler weather is very welcome in the hottest summer months.
