We're talking temperatures that live it up between 20-30°C most of the year. You could be toasting under the Majorcan sun, dipping your toes in the turquoise waters, or wandering around medieval palaces. Lovely jubbly!
Now, the weather in Majorca isn’t just about baking on a beach towel. Winter swings by (December to February), rocking cooler degrees around 10-15°C. There may be the odd rainy day, but that's all part of the fun, innit? Gives you a prime reason to hole up in a café with a cheeky ensaimada!
Fast forward to summer (May to October), and Majorca's all about blue skies, endless sunshine and toasty temps upwards of 30°C. It's like the island's throwing a fiesta and you're the guest of honour! The sea? It's begging you to dive in!
And don't overlook spring and autumn. With temperatures a comfy 15-25°C, they're bang on for exploring Majorca's mountains, villages, and vibrant nightlife.
