The southeast part of the island is definitely warmer than the northwest, but whichever part of the island lucky visitors choose to spend their holiday, sun is always guaranteed.

In terms of average temperatures, South Majorca (Mallorca) is generally slightly hotter and drier than the North. The southern part of the island, including the capital Palma and the sweeping beaches of Es Trenc, is flatter and more exposed to warm air masses traveling from North Africa. During the peak of summer in 2026, the South often sees temperatures 1–3°C higher than the North. Conversely, North Majorca—home to the Tramuntana mountain range and towns like Pollença—tends to be slightly cooler and more humid. The mountains act as a barrier, often trapping clouds and resulting in higher rainfall and more frequent breezes, which can be a welcome relief during July and August heatwaves. While the difference is not extreme, those seeking the most "arid" sun-baked experience should head South, while those preferring a slightly more temperate, lush environment with mountain shadows will find the North more comfortable.
