While the entire island of Majorca enjoys a Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sunshine, the Southern and Southwestern coasts (including areas like Palma, Magaluf, and Santa Ponsa) are generally considered to have the "best" and most consistent weather. This region is sheltered from the "Tramuntana" winds by the northern mountain range, resulting in slightly higher average temperatures and less rainfall than the north. Conversely, the North and Northwest (around Sóller and Pollença) can be several degrees cooler and significantly more humid due to the mountains trapping clouds. If you are seeking the absolute sunniest spot, Cala d'Or on the southeast coast is often cited as having a microclimate with minimal rainfall and very calm, warm waters in its sheltered coves. For a winter visit, the southern plains remain the mildest, while the mountain villages can experience frost or even light snow. Ultimately, for a classic "sun and sand" holiday, the southwest provides the most reliable "scorchio" conditions throughout the summer months.
