Palma Nova Weather: Month by Month Guide for Your Holiday

Resort · Balearic Islands · Mallorca · Spain

Palma Nova weather follows a clear Mallorcan rhythm: mild, fairly damp winters, a steady warm-up through spring, and hot, almost rainless high summer. Figures from the nearby Palma station show average highs of 15°C in January, climbing to 32°C in July and August, when rain falls on only two to four days a month. May and June are the months I would point most British travellers towards, with highs of 24°C to 29°C and few wet days. Late summer turns showery, and September is the wettest month of the year. Palma de Mallorca airport, with direct flights from the UK, is only 15 minutes away by road.

Monthly averages measured at Palma.

What the climate is really like

The temperature in Palma Nova rises in a smooth curve through the year. January is the coolest month, with average highs of 15°C and lows of 8°C, and February is barely warmer at 16°C. From April the warmth builds quickly: 20°C in April, 24°C in May, 29°C in June, then a peak of 32°C in both July and August, with nights holding at 23°C.

Rain tells the other half of the story. High summer is the driest stretch, with July recording only 7mm across two wet days. The pattern then flips in autumn: September brings 68mm over ten wet days, October 64mm over nine, and November 59mm over nine. These tend to be showers rather than weeks of grey, and temperatures stay comfortable, with October still averaging 24°C.

That is why May and June stand out as the best months, warm and settled without August's heat, while February to April and September to December are the shoulder months: quieter, milder and better suited to walking out to the castle of Bendinat or visiting Naveta Alemany than to long days on the sand.

Month by month through the year

Winter, December to February, sits at highs of 15°C to 17°C and lows of 8°C to 10°C, with around six wet days a month. March warms to 17°C but has eight wet days. Palma Nova weather in April is a real step up, with highs of 20°C, lows of 12°C and seven wet days, the month's 51mm being the wettest of spring.

The weather in Palma Nova in May is the point at which a beach holiday becomes reliable: 24°C highs, 15°C nights and 40mm of rain over seven days. June reaches 29°C with only five wet days, and July and August are hot at 32°C, ideal for Western Water Park or Marineland Mallorca if you can take the heat. School-holiday weeks fall in this peak, which is when package demand from the UK is highest.

Palma Nova weather in September stays warm at 28°C with 20°C nights, but it is the wettest month, with ten wet days and 68mm. Palma Nova weather in October is still pleasant at 24°C, though nine wet days mean a jacket is wise. November cools to 19°C, and December eases to 17°C with drier spells, just 27mm over six days.

What to pack by season

For June to August, pack light cotton and linen, a sun hat, high-factor sun cream and something to cover up for the walk between Palmanova beach, Son Caliu Beach and Na Nadala, all about half a mile to a mile from the centre. With nights at 20°C to 23°C, you will not need much for the evenings.

In May, September and October, take the summer basics plus a light jumper for the evening and a compact waterproof, since these months bring seven to ten wet days. From November to March, layers make sense: highs of 15°C to 19°C feel pleasant in the sun, but lows of 8°C to 13°C call for a proper jacket, and a small umbrella earns its place.

A live forecast sits at the top of this page; check it in the week before you fly, alongside your usual short-range outlook such as BBC weather for Palma Nova, and pack for what you see rather than the averages alone.

What to pack for Palma Nova in October

  • T-shirts by day and a light layer for the evening: October averages 24°C by day and 17°C at night.
  • A light rain jacket: about 9 rainy days in October.

Questions about the weather in Palma Nova

What is the weather in Palma Nova like in May?

May is one of the two best months. Average highs reach 24°C with lows of 15°C, and rain totals around 40mm over seven wet days. It is warm enough for the beach without the 32°C heat of July and August.

Is October a good time for Palma Nova?

October averages highs of 24°C and lows of 17°C, so it remains warm. It is a shoulder month, though, with 64mm of rain over about nine wet days, so plan a few indoor or flexible days and pack a light waterproof.

Does it rain much in Palma Nova in September?

September is the wettest month in the Palma climate record, with 68mm over around ten wet days. Temperatures stay high, with 28°C days and 20°C nights, so showers usually interrupt rather than spoil a holiday.

What is the weather like in April?

April brings average highs of 20°C and lows of 12°C, with 51mm of rain over seven wet days. It suits sightseeing, such as Naveta Alemany or the castle of Bendinat, more than all-day sunbathing.

Which beaches are closest to the centre of Palma Nova?

Platja del Carregador is right in the resort, while Palmanova beach, Son Caliu Beach and Na Nadala lie about half a mile away. Cala Vinyes, Cala Comtessa and Caleta de Bendinat are within roughly two to three miles.

Can I see a 25 day forecast or the next 14 days?

The live forecast at the top of this page shows the outlook ahead. Long-range views, such as a 25 day or 14 day forecast, are useful for trends, but the monthly averages here are a steadier guide when choosing when to book.
