Answer

Is January a bad time to visit Mallorca if I dislike cold weather?

January can be a mixed month in Mallorca: there are often mild days, but wind and humidity can make it feel much colder than expected. If you dislike chillier weather, it helps to plan for layers and not assume beach conditions. The island is still enjoyable in winter, but it is not the same as the summer image many travelers have in mind.
