Mallorca in every season

The fact that many songbirds overwinter on Mallorca is an important indicator of the pleasant temperature on the island between November and February. Winter on Mallorca is a cooler but still mild season, with occasional rain and, in the cavernous areas of the Tramuntana, even snow. For a long time, the winter months were unfairly underestimated by tourism. Those on an active holiday to Mallorca are in good hands at this time of year and can enjoy an outstanding natural spectacle as spring approaches: the almond blossom on Mallorca usually begins in January, when other Europeans are still freezing at home.

Spring on Mallorca begins in March, and daytime temperatures can reach up to 22 degrees Celsius; elsewhere, it's already summer temperatures. With water temperatures around 15 degrees Celsius, you can invite the first guests for a swim, or at least dip your feet in the Mediterranean. Mallorca's spring is a time of awakening and blossoming. Bougainvillea and oleander add a splash, and shrubs and trees shoot up across the landscape. The season slowly gets underway at this time, with the first excursions and tours possible again, and the cafés on the promenades that were closed over the winter reopening.

Those who come to Mallorca between June and August are treated to a triumvirate of midsummer, high season, and high life. Daytime temperatures often exceed 30 degrees Celsius, while at night, temperatures remain as warm as normal at 20 degrees Celsius. Summer in Mallorca means bathing weather with temperatures up to 27 degrees Celsius in the Mediterranean and balmy summer nights with the chirping of crickets. Those who want to get away from the beach at this time of year will certainly find shady spots and a pleasant breeze in the mountains. It also helps to embrace water sports and dive in more often during this time of year.

From mid-September, the approaching autumn brings a cooling effect. Daytime temperatures hover in the twenties, and the first rain showers are now occasionally seen. This time of year is recommended as a travel time because there is more air and space for outdoor activities that may have been neglected in the summer heat. The sun's power in autumn on Mallorca is about as strong as it is elsewhere in August, meaning you can extend the summer here, and with water temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius, you can still pack your swimsuit in October.
