The climate of Minorca (Balearic
Islands / Spain)
Minorca is one of the inhabited islands of the Balearics. After
Mallorca this is the largest island of the Balearic Islands. Although
Minorca is larger than Ibiza, it attracts fewer tourists. The majority
of the people that visit Menorca are families with (young) children
and older couples. Most tourists spend their holiday in the southern
part of the island where the beaches can be found. Menorca has a
Mediterranean climate. winters are mild. However it is too cold to be
suitable as a winter sun holiday. From the end of April tourists start
to come to Menorca. This is the time when the weather starts to be
pleasantly warm and when it is pleasant to spend your day along the
pool or on the beach. The warmest months are July, August and
September. This is also the best period to plan your holiday in. From
the second part of September the weather starts to be unstable.
Chances of cloudy skies and rainfall rise.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
