Weather in Palma in July

Prime time. July is about as good as Palma gets. Highs average 27.8 °C, lows 24.1 °C, and rain falls on 2 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

July ranks 2 of 12 in Palma. Only June scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain falls on only 2 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: the day barely swings — 3.7 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 33.2 °C and the coldest night fell to 19.9 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 27 mm — roughly 300% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. July rainfall has ranged from 1 mm to 35 mm across the twenty years measured — a 34 mm spread around an average of 9 mm. The average is real but almost no individual July looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 10.6 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 69%.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 24.8 °C in June, 27.8 here, 28.3 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in July

July is at or near the longest days of Palma's year: 14.7 hours of daylight, losing 0.6 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 25.3 °C in July — warm enough to stay in as long as you like. This is the warmest the water gets all year.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead. If the dates are flexible, September is the trade worth considering — 14 points weaker on weather, and materially quieter.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

July in Palma versus nearby

If Palma is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Barcelona is the weaker option in July — 4.2 °C warmer, 3 days more rain. Valencia is the weaker option in July — 7.8 °C warmer, the same number of rain days.

So: July is effectively as good as it gets here — 2 points behind June, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
