The weather is different around Majorca due to the island being quite mountainous. The south's usually a bit warmer and drier than the north because of north westerly winds, which the mountains block. You'll be kept cool by the local embat wind on the coast, which is welcome in May as things get hotter.

Yes, the south of Mallorca (Majorca) is generally warmer, sunnier, and drier than the north. This climatic difference is largely due to the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, which runs along the northwestern coast and acts as a barrier against northern winds and rain clouds. As a result, the northern part of the island, including areas like Pollença and Alcúdia, tends to be more lush but also experiences more rainfall and slightly lower average temperatures, especially in the winter. The south and southeast, where the capital Palma is located, enjoy a more sheltered Mediterranean microclimate with more consistent sunshine and higher daytime temperatures. During the summer months, the difference is less pronounced, though the south often feels hotter due to less wind. In the winter and spring, the temperature gap can be more noticeable, with the south often being 1°C to 2°C warmer than the mountainous north. For travelers seeking a "winter sun" escape or the warmest possible beach weather in the shoulder seasons, the southern coast is typically the most reliable choice for clear skies.
