Menorca weather year round – the big picture
The island’s climate is classic Mediterranean: hot, dry summers and mild, relatively wet winters. Average annual temperatures hover around 18°C, with highs peaking in July and August at 30°C.

By May, the island sheds its spring coat. Daily highs average 22°C, lows 13°C, and rainfall drops to 30mm across four days. Sunshine jumps to 9 hours per day, and the sea warms to 18°C – pleasant for a brief dip. This is one of the best months for walking and cycling before the summer heat builds.
