Mallorca in February: weather, temperatures and rain days

1What the weather is like in Mallorca in February

In Mallorca February is very similar to January: mild days, cool nights, changeable. No month has a lower average low at the station, and the sea also reaches its lowest level now.

On average over the years 2011 to 2025, the Palma de Mallorca CMT station reaches 16.4 °C by day and 8.6 °C at night in February. On 5.3 days at least 1 mm of rain falls, adding up to 37.4 mm in the month.

For comparison: in January the average high is 16.3 °C, in March it is 18.1 °C. For rainfall, February ranks number 5 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 February in the years 2011 to 2025 was 24.4 °C on 4 February 2020, the lowest -0.1 °C on 4 February 2012.

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 February

Off the Bay of Palma the sea averages 14.5 °C in February. In January it is 15.4 °C, in March 14.7 °C. No month has a colder sea. Swimming is something for very short moments or for a wetsuit.

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 February

In February you need the same kit as in midwinter: jumper, jacket, long trousers and sturdy shoes. For sunny hours a light top is often enough at midday, and sunglasses are worth bringing. Rain protection is part of it. For hikes in the mountains an extra warm layer makes sense.

5Which activities suit the weather in February

• Beach: For walking and sunbathing on calm days, too cold for swimming.
• Boat trip: Only advisable when the sea is calm. Check beforehand whether any trips run at all in February.
• Hiking: Cool air makes longer tours pleasant. Paths can be slippery after rain.
• Caves: Always fits, on wet days too.
• City: Palma and the smaller towns are easy to explore on foot without heat.
