Mallorca travel weather

Mostly sunny and cloudless - on many days the weather app says nothing else about Mallorca. Statistically, this can be confirmed with 300 days of sunshine a year and 7.9 hours of sunshine a day. Mallorca is located around 170 kilometres from the mainland and is in a different climatic league. A temperate subtropical Mediterranean climate for the island means, in short: persistently warm summers and short, mild winters.

Apart from a few weather phenomena such as the Gota Fría, this is pretty much the case. The best time to visit Mallorca is between April and September. However, late summer in October is also often at its best. The hottest month is August with an average of 31 degrees. This is the height of summer on Mallorca and the time with the most visitors to the island. Of course, locals and tourists prefer to lie on the beach or by the pool at this time.

The water temperatures in Mallorca rise steadily from April and reach almost 27 degrees by the middle of the year. This is warm enough to splash around in the Mediterranean for hours or spend time snorkelling.

But because even a sunny island cannot do without water from above completely, holidaymakers have to look for activities in Mallorca when it rains from time to time. This is mainly the case at the end of the year or in spring and very rarely in summer. Fortunately, there are good options for bad weather days on Mallorca. We have compiled the best ones for you here. Numerous excursion tips are fun regardless of the clouds and there are also activities and addresses for families with children on Mallorca to elegantly avoid a weather low.

Of course, rain on Mallorca doesn't automatically mean that you have to stay in your hotel room or holiday finca for hours on end. You might never go on some of the bad weather excursions we recommend if it was only ever bathing weather. And then you would definitely have missed out. Long before Mallorca became something of a seaside paradise in the Mediterranean, people came here to be inspired by the culture and history - and all of this is possible even when it's cloudy.

Every season in Mallorca has its charm. Spring and midsummer are the most popular seasons. More and more people are also discovering Mallorca in winter and are rightly amazed by the magic of the green island. Not forgetting the almond blossom in the middle of the European winter, which visually envelops Mallorca and creates a whole new panorama.
