Mallorca enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with hot, sunny summers, and mild winters. The Tramuntana mountains that form the western coast of Mallorca have a major influence on the weather here. The mountains protect most of the island from the worst of the winter weather. This also means that many of the western towns and villages in these foothills also have more rain that the interior and eastern parts of Mallorca. It also means that the west coast is slightly cloudier than the rest of Mallorca. The pressure systems form clouds here when moisture from the sea rises up the mountains after being at sea level.
Highlights

Sea temperatures remain low at 15º C.

It's time to get back to enjoying outdoor pursuits as the weather in Mallorca during October has temperatures at a very pleasant mid 20º C's. Be aware that the Tramuntana mountains can create their own micro-climate and you may find it's slightly cloudier and wetter here than in other parts of Mallorca. You can still enjoy the beach in October, so don't rule Mallorca out for the half term holiday week.

November in Mallorca begins to feel like the UK in May. You can expect the odd day to be over 22º C and the skies are clear or partly cloudy 80% of the month. So definitely still very pleasant. The sea temperature begins to fall now to 19º C and won't reach the heady heights of above 20º C until the following June.
Mallorca Weather in December
Min. temperature: 10º C | Max. temperature: 17º C | Hrs of sunshine per day: 5 | No. of rainy days: 6
December brings the shortest days of the year and the corresponding fall in daily sunshine hours. The days are still warm enough to being wearing T-shirts but you will need a light jacket for the evenings.
Rainfall
Rainfall on the island remains slight, varying between 1,400mm (55in) in the mountains to only 300mm (11.8in) on the southern plain. The winds blow principally during the winter and spring, predominantly from the north (the Tramuntana) and the southwest (the Llebeix). The southeast Sirocco brings with it red sand from the deserts of Africa which, if nothing else, seriously irritates the island's clean-car owners.
It is rare than snow falls anywhere except at the higher altitudes in the mountains during the winter.
Sunshine hours
Minimum daily sunshine hours also occur during the winter months when you can expect around 5 hours of sun every day. However this rises dramatically during the summer months and averages at around 11 hours sun a day.
