Traveller notes on Menorca in August
Other months in Menorca
Menorca's forum calls July reliably warm, generally 28-33°C by day and often still uncomfortably warm after dark, though pleasant enough for evenings out in just shorts and a t-shirt. Regulars flag the island's small size as making its Mediterranean weather genuinely hard to forecast — sun, cloud, and the occasional stray shower or hailstorm are all possible even in peak summer.
