Mallorca weather, climate and geography

Weather & climate

Best time to visit: 

The island enjoys a temperate, Mediterranean climate. The maximum temperatures are not excessive, even in high summer, owing to the cooling influence of the sea. The climate during the winter is generally mild and dry with occasional showers. The shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) are generally perfect to get the best of the weather and to avoid the crowds.

Required clothing: 

Light- to medium-weights and some light rainwear, according to the season.

Geography

Mallorca (Majorca) has a varied landscape. Its main geographical feature is the Sierra del Norte mountains running along the northern coast. The rest of the interior is covered with lush pine forest, olive and almond trees. The coast is a mixture of rocky coves, cliffs and sandy beaches.
