The Seasons of Inca: Summer and Winter

The Mediterranean island of Mallorca, part of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands belonging to the Kingdom of Spain, is home to the ancient city of Inca located in the centre of the island. Its position within the Mediterranean Sea results in gentle winter and hot, dry summers, typical of Mediterranean climates. In winter, average temperatures range from 8-12°C, with temperatures rarely sinking below freezing. Mornings can be crisp and clear and offer a pleasant start to the day. Areas of higher elevation may record winter temperatures of a few degrees lower. Cloudy days are not uncommon, but the dry air results in short-lived showers. Nights are cool and pleasant, perfect for a stroll through the town. Come summer, the climate is predictably dry and hot. Temperatures range from 22-30°C, and Mallorca's location makes the island particularly windy during this season. In July and August, temperatures can soar to the thirties, with nights rarely falling lower than 20°C. The sunshine of summer is an ideal time to visit the beaches and coves of Mallorca. In the urban areas of Inca, the streets become hot and dusty, and impromptu swimming pools called "badules" are oftentimes set up by locals in order to cool down during the hottest days. The island has a well-developed and reliable bus network, so visitors can make their way to inhabited areas around the island to enjoy the hot weather and the wonderfully clear blue waters of the Mediterranean. The spring and autumn months are less extreme and often offer the most perfect temperatures, with average highs of around 20°C. Both seasons provide ideal conditions for exploring the town and taking in the surrounding countryside of northern Mallorca. Enjoy nearby hiking trails, touring local towns on foot or by bike or visiting local markets and festivals. With such a diverse climate, Mallorca and the Mediterranean town of Inca have something to offer all year round.
