The climate of Majorca

The atmosphere of Majorca, the largest island of Spain, is typically Mediterranean with warm dry summers and cool wet winters.

The island of Majorca lies off the west coast of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea at about 40 degrees North and 50 West. It has a gorgeous and mild climate. The summers are warm and sunny with the midpoint high about 82 F (28 C) and midpoint low of 77 F (25 C). The winters are mild to cool with the midpoint high of 59 F (15 C) and midpoint low of 50 F (10 C). The climate, therefore, is ideal in winters when most of western and central Europe has highs in the range of 40 F (4 C) and lows in mid twenties (about -5 C). It is no surprise then that a majority of tourists to Majorca while the winter are from these regions. The mountains to the northwest of its capital Palma are, however, 8-10 degrees cooler than the coast and narrative snowfall in winter. They have any way a superb atmosphere in summer when the highs are in the range of 70 F (21 C) with lot of sunshine. One thing is common to both the coast and mountain climates of Majorca and that is scantiness of rainfall in summer and its plenty in winter.

The island of Majorca, therefore, has two types of climates, both Mediterranean but one considerably cooler than the other. The mountains of the north-west are an ideal place to visit in the summer while coastal areas like the capital Palma are excellent for a visit in winter.
