When to go to Mallorca: month by month
Weather, sea temperature, fiestas and what is open in each month of the year, from the January bonfires to Christmas.
| Month | °C | Sea | Rain | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 15° / 8° | 15° | 6 days | Sant Antoni bonfires, Palma without queues and the Tramuntana to yourself: January is the island locals live in. |
| February | 16° / 8° | 15° | 5 days | Almond blossom turns the inland white: February is for hikes, bikes and quiet villages. |
| March | 17° / 10° | 15° | 9 days | The island wakes up: terraces reopen, the roads fill with cyclists and the countryside is at its greenest. |
| April | 20° / 12° | 17° | 8 days | Easter processions, fields of flowers and empty coves: April is real spring, although the sea is still cold. |
| May | 24° / 15° | 20° | 8 days | Long days, 24 °C and the coves still quiet: for many locals, May is the best month of the year. |
| June | 29° / 20° | 24° | 5 days | The sea is inviting, the sun sets after nine and Sant Joan night is spent on the beach: summer starts. |
