Mallorca in April: weather, temperatures and rain days

1What the weather is like in Mallorca in April

In April it is spring in Mallorca. By day it is often warm enough for short sleeves, and in the evening it cools down noticeably. Rain falls less often than in March, but remains possible.

On average over the years 2011 to 2025, the Palma de Mallorca CMT station reaches 20.4 °C by day and 12.8 °C at night in April. On 4.7 days at least 1 mm of rain falls, adding up to 32.1 mm in the month.

For comparison: in March the average high is 18.1 °C, in May it is 23.5 °C. For rainfall, April ranks number 8 of 12 months. The wettest is November with 87.3 mm, the driest is July with 2.7 mm.

Individual days deviate strongly from the average. The highest value for April in the years 2011 to 2025 was 28.9 °C on 6 April 2024, the lowest 6.4 °C on 3 April 2022.

The figures apply to Palma right on the coast. Inland and in the Serra de Tramuntana, the weather can turn out very different on the same day.

3Sea temperature in Mallorca in April

Off the Bay of Palma the sea averages 16.3 °C in April. In March it is 14.7 °C, in May 18.9 °C. That is fresh. Short dips are possible, but a long swim is too cold for most people.

The value comes from the NOAA OISST satellite analysis for open water off the bay, averaged over 2011 to 2025. In shallow coves and right at the beach the water can be warmer or colder.

4What to pack for Mallorca in April

In April a T-shirt and light trousers are usually enough by day, and for the evening you need a jumper or a light jacket. A thin rain layer makes sense. Do not forget sun cream and sunglasses. Swimwear is worth it for sunny hours on the beach, even if the water is cold.

5Which activities suit the weather in April

• Beach: Sunbathing works on many days, the water is still cold.
• Boat trip: Pleasant when the sea is calm, and it is fresher on the water than on land.
• Hiking: One of the best months for tours on foot and by bike.
• Caves: A good fallback for a rain day.
• City: Warm enough for long days in Palma and in the towns.
