What these numbers describe

Historical climate at one selected model cell. Higher routes, sheltered valleys and exposed ridges can differ substantially.

Model elevation: 230 m · Historical period: 1991–2025

Trail wind is not available here. This model does not resolve exposed ridges or gusts; check a local mountain forecast.

How to read these figures

Selected cell: 39.7, 2.9

Temperature sampling window (local time, limited to daylight): 08:00–18:00.

A wet day has at least 1 mm of total precipitation (including snow water equivalent). It may rain for only part of the day.

A snow day meets either model threshold: 10% snow cover or 2 cm snow depth.

Months we do not recommend

2 months do not clear the gate

The record for these months is complete. They carry no hiking score because at least one critical component is at or below 20, and we would rather say so here than publish a weak recommendation.

Mallorca through the year

Mallorca sits at about 230.4 metres and has no closed hiking season. In all 10 scored months, temperature, rainfall and snow stay inside the limits at which we withhold a recommendation. Temperature moves 16 degrees across the year, from 12 in January to 28 in July.

How the months differ

Although the whole year clears the recommendation gate, the months are not interchangeable. Rain falls on about 6 percent of days in July, compared with 33 percent in November. Hikers prioritising drier conditions should start with July, then compare its temperature with July.

Why July to August are missing

In July the hiking-window temperature reaches 28 degrees. We withhold July to August because sustained heat makes a walk a question of time of day and water, rather than of season.

Conditions in April

The strongest scored month is April: about 16 degrees in the hiking window, rain on 25 percent of days, and 13 hours of daylight.

What these figures cover

Every figure comes from one selected ERA5-Land model grid cell at 39.70, 2.90, 230.4 metres, averaged over 1991 to 2025. It describes that point rather than every route in the region, and it is not a forecast. Wind is coarse 10 metre grid wind, not a statement about exposed paths or gusts.
