The winter season begins in the month of December, but despite the lateness of the year, this can be a great time to visit. That is because much of mainland Europe can be entrenched in snow during this time of the year while Calas de Mallorca is enjoying fairly mild conditions and temperatures well above the freezing mark.
What's The Weather Like In Calas De Mallorca In December
Temperature
While it is cold enough for visitors to need to bring a light jacket and trousers, anything heavier is overkill for the region. The average daily temperature for this time of the year is 11°C (52°F). Average afternoon highs will climb to 16°C (61°F) and can feel colder thanks to a strong wind coming in from the nearby ocean.
Temperatures during the overnight hours will typically fall to 5°C (41°F). This is cool enough that visitors will want to make sure that their hotel room has heat in order to make the room and stay more pleasant.
Rain
After two very wet months, this one is slightly drier although it will rain over just about half the days. Rainfall amounts will average 43mm for the month with the precipitation coming over an average of 12 days. Despite the wetness, there is no threat of winter precipitation thanks to the moderating effects of the nearby water.
Sunshine Hours
Even with the rain, the region will see an average of 6 hours of sunshine per day allowing visitors to have plenty of time to get outdoors if the weather allows.
Sea Temperature
There is no chance, however, of enjoying the nearby beaches during this time of the year. The water is far too cold to be enjoyed safely as temperatures will only average 17°C (63°F). It will be several more months before those on holiday will be able to head back into the sea and enjoy the area's water sports.
