طقس منورقة في أبريل

Regulars are specific that the tramuntana wind hits north-facing spots like Es Castell and much of Mahon hard, while a south-facing, sheltered beach like Son Bou or Cala Galdana can feel like a completely different, calm world on the very same day. Our row backs that mild, still-breezy read, 23C over 13.9C nights feeling 12C, with rain light at 27.1mm across 4.6 days and a real 26.8 kph wind. Regulars are consistent this island is small enough that sun on one coast and dull skies on the other happen regularly, worth checking both before settling on a beach for the day. Strong midday UV catches people off guard in sheltered spots even with the wind keeping the air feeling cooler. The sea sits at 18.9C, still a touch cool for a long swim. The record: 12.5 hours of sun, humidity 77 percent and AQI 53.

September here is the month regulars prefer to August: still above 25C, with the heat and the crowds both eased. On the sea they say it is at its warmest now, though our column puts August a degree higher, 27.4C against 26.2C - so what has really happened is that the water holds while everything else calms down. The change worth knowing is the wind. It sits at 27 kph this month, up from 24 in August and climbing to 36.7 by November, so the island's windy half of the year is opening rather than the summer simply continuing. Air is 27.5C reading as 29C over 19.2C nights, with 71.6mm of rain across 6 days - a thunderstorm and a sharp shower rather than a wet week. The record: humidity 71 percent, 10.6 hours of sun and AQI 53.

Menorca-forum threads on October weather are unanimous that autumn is the wettest stretch of the Balearic year, and October specifically can be the single wettest month, though posters are quick to add it still runs like a mild British summer by comparison for anyone visiting from northern Europe. Late-month days holding around 21C with cooler nights near 16C are described as pleasant provided the sun is out, evenings cool enough for a jacket outdoors. Experiences genuinely diverge trip to trip: one visitor logged eight straight days of warm sun, another got cold, wet, windy conditions with a couple of thunderstorms in the same general window. Coastal resorts noticeably wind down over the final two weeks of the month, most closing for the season by October 31st, so a late-month visit means thinner services alongside the less reliable weather. The record: 23.7C days feeling like 24C, 15.9C nights, 79mm across 6 days, a 24.6C sea, 72 percent humidity and wind averaging nearly 30 km/h.

August on Menorca is hot and humid - regulars expect 30 to 35C against our row's 30.7C reading as 34C - and they draw a line between the coast and everywhere else: with a breeze the beach is bearable, while inland it goes sticky and the evenings stay warm enough that air conditioning matters. The island's nickname as the windy one belongs mostly to winter, when the tramontana blows hardest, but the local rule works all year and is the single most useful thing in the thread: when the wind is from the north you go to the south-coast beaches, and when the south is rough you go north. Cala Galdana is the easy-access name. The record: 21.4C nights, 2.1 precipitation days carrying 33mm, 12.3 hours of sun and a 27.4C sea.
