Answer

How cold does Mallorca usually get during a winter weather shift?

When a cold front reaches Mallorca, temperatures can feel very different from the mild image many visitors expect. In this case, inland and mountain areas are much cooler than Palma, with daytime values staying low enough that a warm jacket is sensible. The Tramuntana can feel especially raw when wind and rain are added to the mix.
