The weather on the Balearic Islands

The Balearic Islands have some of Europe’s finest all year round weather for walking. The peak summer months (July/August and maybe the beginning of September) are the only time when it’s too hot to spend too much time outdoors.

The spring and autumn on the Balearics offer us the best weather and, given that the Balearics enjoy 300 sunny days every year, it’s unusual to get wet. The rain never stays for long anyway and, before you know it, the skies are clear and the sun’s back. Even in the winter, the weather can be glorious and it’s normally possible to walk in short sleeves by late morning. Mallorca is marginally warmer than Menorca, although having said that, it’s a close run thing and both islands enjoy a perfect Mediterranean climate.

Below is a chart outlining the type of temperatures that you could expect when visiting the islands at various times of year:
