Key climate facts for Majorca
What to pack for Majorca
Packing depends heavily on the season. For summer (June–August), lightweight clothing, a hat, sunglasses and high-factor sunscreen are essential, plus a light jacket for evenings when coastal breezes drop the temperature a few degrees. In spring and autumn (April, May, October), layers are key: T‑shirts and shorts for daytime, but long trousers and a sweater or fleece for cooler evenings. Majorca weather in April and May can still bring the occasional shower, so a compact waterproof is wise. Winter visitors (November–February) need a warm coat, scarf and sturdy footwear; rain is more likely, but many days remain bright and sunny. A universal travel adapter (Type F) is also useful for your devices.
