When Ten Degrees Become Biting Cold: Why Mallorca's Winters Shouldn't Be Underestimated

Answer

Why does Mallorca feel so cold in winter even when temperatures are around ten degrees?

On Mallorca, the cold often feels sharper because humidity, wind and light clothing all add to the discomfort. Older buildings with poor insulation can also make indoor spaces feel colder than the thermometer suggests. For many people, it is the combination of damp air, drafts and expectations of sunshine that makes winter feel biting.
