Climate and Weather in Calvia

The area has a typical Mediterranean climate with dry, hot summers. While average summer temperatures hover around 30°C, the proximity to the sea significantly softens the heat compared to, for example, inland continental Spain. Winters are mild and pleasant, with temperatures often around 15°C. Rainfall is scarce, except for a little at the start and end of the year, and winds are more common from October to April.

The period from May to early October is the best climatically for exploring Mallorca. That said, despite the good weather, July and August still have the major drawback of being extremely crowded.
