The Balearics' big island: a limestone mountain range along the north coast, quiet coves everywhere else. Daytime highs in Mallorca run from about 13 °C in January to 29 °C in July, an annual range of roughly 16 °C.
Measured against a beach trip, the conditions hold up June to September. June is the most consistent single month: highs near 26 °C, nights around 19 °C, and roughly 17 mm of rain across the month.
What rules months out here is temperature and rainfall, not any composite judgement. Rainfall is sharply seasonal: October averages 68 mm against 9 mm in July, so the wet season is the real planning constraint rather than heat or cold. January is the weakest month on these criteria.
Visitor numbers follow their own curve. Recorded overnight stays peak in the two weeks from 13 August at about 2.2 times an average fortnight for this region, against under 0.1 times in January. June, the most consistent month on the weather, is also near the top of that curve at 1.8 times average, so the two answers pull against each other. On the separate question of how much tourism the area carries all year, Palma sits in the 5th densest of 294 European regions, at 60.0 overnight stays per resident a year.
May and October sit just outside the window, with part of the month working and part not. These are usually the interesting weeks: conditions are close to the peak-season answer while prices and crowds are not. On recorded overnight stays that holds: May and October run about 37% below the August peak. The map lets you check them fortnight by fortnight rather than trusting a monthly average.

Figures are 30-year climatology sampled at Palma, Alcudia, Soller, Manacor and Pollenca, averaged across those locations, from ERA5-Land reanalysis fitted with a harmonic seasonal cycle and a trend term, evaluated for 2026. Sampling named towns rather than averaging the whole region avoids blending valley and mountain conditions into a figure true of neither. Cells are about 0.08° wide, from ERA5-Land's 0.1° grid, which is itself driven by a 0.25° (~28 km) atmospheric reanalysis — so individual valleys, sheltered bays and single summits are not resolved. In steep terrain read these as conditions for the wider area rather than for one village. They describe typical conditions, not a forecast. Read how the climatology is built.
