Palma
Classic Northern European beach island. The Sóller wooden train through the Tramuntana is the thing locals take visitors on.
Mostly sunny with the odd cloud. Real holiday weather.
Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.
Day-trips, boat days and guided tours on GetYourGuide.
Timed-entry and skip-the-line tickets on Tiqets.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Structural odds, not a verdict — the live forecast can still surprise either way.
Reliable May to October. The Balearics escape the worst inland heat thanks to the surrounding sea, but August still routinely produces 38°C days. June and September are the sweet spots: sea at 22°C and 25°C respectively, manageable crowds.
Cheapest return we found: 6–13 Sept · 1+ stops. Live search on Kiwi.
Common questions about Palma
When is the best time to visit Palma?
May–June and September–October are when we'd go. Skip August: heat that regularly passes 35°C. The live forecast on this page shows what the next two weeks look like.
Is Palma worth visiting in June?
Yes. June sits inside the best stretch (May–June and September–October). Once your dates fall within the next two weeks, the forecast above gives you the real picture.
Is Palma good in August?
We'd go another month: August means heat that regularly passes 35°C. Locked dates? It still works if you make sure the room has air conditioning that works.
Dates settling? Compare hotels on Booking and flights on Kiwi — both open with the forecast's best window pre-filled.
