Which part of Majorca is hottest in October?

Majorca weather October There's differences in climate across the island because of the mountains, which attract rain and clouds leaving the coast sunny and dry. North westerly winds mean the southeast is usually a bit warmer and drier than other parts of Majorca.



In October, the southern and southwestern coasts of Majorca, including the capital Palma and the resort areas of Magaluf and Santa Ponsa, tend to be the warmest. These regions are geographically shielded by the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, which blocks many of the cooler northern winds and rain clouds. While the entire island enters a "shoulder season," the south maintains average daytime highs of 22°C to 24°C (72°F–75°F), with the sea temperature remaining a surprisingly pleasant 21°C. In contrast, the northern regions like Alcúdia and Pollença can experience slightly more wind and a higher chance of autumn showers. For travelers in 2026, the southwest offers the most reliable "second summer" vibe, with enough warmth for afternoon sunbathing and outdoor dining, though it is always wise to bring a light jacket for the evenings when temperatures can dip to around 15°C. The inland plains also stay warm during the day but lack the thermal regulation of the Mediterranean Sea, leading to cooler nights compared to the bustling coastal hubs.
