Weather Cala d'Or: Month-by-Month Guide for Mallorca

The weather in Cala d'Or splits neatly into a hot, dry summer and a mild, greener winter. From June to September daytime highs run between 27°C and 32°C, with nights staying warm at 19°C to 23°C. July is the driest month of the year, with only 5mm of rain. From December to February, highs sit at 16°C to 17°C and nights drop to around 8°C, which is mild by British standards but too cool for most people to lie on the beach.

The best months in the data are April, August and November. August gives the full summer heat, while April and November bring comfortable 21°C days without the crowds of the school holidays. Package holidays from the UK cover flights into Palma de Mallorca, hotel and transfers, and you can compare the deals shown on this page by month to see how the seasons affect what is on offer.

January and February are the coolest months, both averaging 16°C highs and 8°C lows. February is the wettest month at 95mm, although that falls over just seven days, so expect a few heavy downpours rather than constant drizzle. March warms to 19°C and is surprisingly dry at 26mm, while April reaches 21°C with seven wet days. May climbs to 23°C but has the most rainy days of the year at twelve, so pack for the odd shower.

June is where summer begins, with highs of 28°C and lows of 19°C. July and August are the hottest months, at 32°C and 31°C, with warm 23°C nights; August sees a little more rain than July, 37mm over five days. September eases to 27°C but brings ten wet days, typically late-summer storms. October holds a pleasant 25°C, November 21°C, and December rounds off the year at 17°C with only 23mm of rain.

The shoulder months of May, June, September and October are good if you want warmth without the peak of summer, while January to March and December suit walkers, cyclists and anyone happy with spring-like days in Mallorca.

For July and August, pack light cotton and linen, high-factor sun cream, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses; with highs over 30°C and warm nights, you will rarely need more than a thin layer after dark. Reef shoes are useful for the rocky coves around Portopetro, such as Caló de Sa Torre.

In spring and autumn, from April to June and September to November, take summer clothes plus a light jumper or jacket for evenings around 12°C to 19°C, and a compact waterproof, especially in May and September when wet days are most frequent. Comfortable walking shoes are worth it if you plan to explore Mondragó Natural Park or the Talayotic town of l'Hospitalet Vell.

From December to March, think layers: a warm jacket for 8°C evenings, jumpers, long trousers and an umbrella for February's heavier rain. Days of 16°C to 19°C are still pleasant for walking on sunny afternoons.

The climate figures here come from the weather station at Alcúdia, on Mallorca's north coast around 30 miles away, so treat them as a reliable guide to the island's pattern rather than an exact reading for every cove. Cala d'Or sits on the south-east coast, with Portopetro about 2 miles away and Portocolom about 3 miles north, and all three share the same coastal setting.
