15/05/2020 Lovely temperatures, fewer crowds and special events: there are so many positives to visiting Mallorca in May. The island can seem close to perfection at this time of year, when glorious sunshine makes getting out and exploring – or simply relaxing – a great pleasure.
May is when we see the island at its natural best, the flowers and foliage having benefited from spring and winter rains, the land not yet parched by the summer sun. Flights to the island are plentiful yet you’ll skip long queues at the airport, and prices have not yet peaked.
Weather in Mallorca in May
Mallorca in May and the mercury is rising. Summer has arrived and the temperature creeps up into the mid 20s, with 17°C as a daily average. Rain does occur this month, so while most visitors will feel comfortable in vacation clothes thanks to stronger sunshine, it’s sensible to bring along a light waterproof.
