Climate

The weather situation of Mallorca is ruled by the sub tropical climate of the Mediterranean. Normally summers are very dry and hot, but the winters are humid and mild. Bad weather is kept away by the mountain ranges. So the northwind (tramuntana), that blows with up to 100 km per hour over the Mediterranean islands, is hindered to sweep over the whole island. Thus the precipitation per year of 1500 mm rain in the north west is much higher than in the south with only 400 mm.

In the months November until April one has to expect strong rains on the whole island. But the weather is not comparable with German weather, because these months also offer many very nice sunny days. Those who are looking for brilliant blue skies in these months will not be disappointed.

The rest of the months almost have no rain. The time of the almond blossom (end of January) and spring time surely is the nicest time of the year.

August is characterised by high temperatures up to 40°C and high air humidity.
