Magaluf Weather: Month by Month Guide for Mallorca Holidays

The figures on this page come from the Palma weather station, the closest long-term record to Magaluf and neighbouring Palmanova, which sits about a mile along the coast. The year splits neatly in two. From June to August it is hot and almost rainless, with July the driest month at just 7mm of rain. From September to November the rain returns in short bursts, and winter is mild rather than cold, with lows that rarely dip below 8°C.

The best months are May and June, when highs run from 24°C to 29°C and there are only five to seven wet days. February to April and September to December are the shoulder months: quieter, cooler or showery depending on which end of the year you pick, but rarely cold enough to rule out a walk to Cala Vinyes or Palmanova beach. For the weather in Magaluf, Spain, during the hottest weeks, think of July and August as two months of reliable sun with very warm nights.

January and February are the coolest months, with highs of 15°C to 16°C, lows of 8°C and around six wet days each. March warms to 17°C but has eight rainy days. Magaluf weather in April is a clear step up: 20°C by day, 12°C at night, though April has 51mm of rain over seven days, so pack for the odd shower. Magaluf weather in May is where the season properly opens, with highs of 24°C, lows of 15°C and 40mm of rain.

Magaluf weather in June is the pick for many, with 29°C highs, 20°C nights and just five wet days. Magaluf weather in July is the hottest and driest of the year: 32°C, 23°C overnight and only two rainy days. August matches that heat with a little more rain over four days. These are also the school-holiday months, when package demand is highest.

Magaluf weather in September stays warm at 28°C, but it is the wettest month, with 68mm falling over ten days, usually in short storms. Magaluf weather in October brings a pleasant 24°C and 17°C nights, with nine rainy days. November cools to 19°C, and December sits at 17°C with lows of 10°C and six wet days. The Magaluf temperature never falls far in winter, which makes the shoulder months worth a look for walking and sightseeing.

For June to August, pack light cotton and linen, a sunhat, high-factor sun cream and sandals; with highs of 29°C to 32°C and nights that stay above 20°C, you will barely need a jumper. Bring something cool for the evenings and a refillable water bottle for days out at the Western Water Park or Marineland Mallorca.

In May and in late September and October, swimwear and shorts still make sense for highs of 24°C to 28°C, but add a light jacket for evenings around 15°C to 17°C and a compact umbrella, since autumn brings nine or ten wet days a month.

From November to April, think layers: long trousers, a warm jumper and a waterproof for highs of 15°C to 20°C and nights between 8°C and 13°C. Comfortable shoes are worth packing if you plan to walk to the Naveta Alemany or out towards the Castle of Bendinat.
