Climate Mallorca

The climate year of Mallorca

Due to the island location, the winters in Mallorca are always short and have a mild and humid character. On the south and east coast of the island, however, it is never particularly cold. In contrast, at the same time of year it is much colder on the north and west coasts, as there are many mountains in these parts of the island and the relief is generally much hillier than in the southern and eastern parts. Therefore, it snows there also significantly more. The other seasons are characterized by a - for the Mediterranean regions typical - Mediterranean climate. Due to the subtropical winds, it is therefore always cooler on the coasts than in the interior of the island.
