Best time to visit Palma
Spain · 20-year averages
June is the best month in Palma, scoring 95 out of 100, with January the weakest at 65. The 30-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs May to August — 4 months within ten points of the best.
August is the warmest month at 28.3 °C and February the coolest at 13.5 °C — a 14.8 °C spread across the year.
There is a real wet season here. September to November carry the rain — up to 11 wet days in a month — while June to August drop as low as 2. That 9-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Palma, and it moves further than the temperature does.
The sea is comfortable for swimming in June to October — 26.3 °C at its warmest against 13.5 °C at its coldest. The water peaks a month or two after the air does, so the best swimming falls later in the year than the best weather. Daylight runs from 9.4 hours in winter to 14.9 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.
The three strongest months are June, July, May. The one to think twice about is January. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
