04/03/2019 Those familiar with BBC comedy series The Fast Show in the 90s will recall its weather girl constantly describing the forecast as ‘scorchio‘ – which pretty much sums up Mallorca in August. Summer in the Balearic Islands is long and hot, with very little rain, though humidity levels tend to be high.
The warmest day on record in Mallorca in August is a sweltering 41°C, and the coldest just 11°C, but it’s fair to expect highs to stay around 30°C during your stay. Clear blue skies and a wonderfully warm sea (averaging 26°C), make for blissful days at the island’s beautiful beaches.
What’s the weather like in Mallorca in August?
August is the most reliable month to visit Mallorca if you’re looking for plentiful sun, high temperatures and little to no chance of rain. Think long, lazy days at the beach and around the pool, meals taken al fresco and lots of late, balmy nights.
Islanders come to life in the evening, when the heat finally subsides and it’s time to gather together to enjoy dinner and drinks, and perhaps a local fiesta.
