What's the weather like in Magaluf in September
Magaluf is a lively holiday resort situated on the south west coast of Majorca in Spain. The resort caters mostly to European and British travellers and has gained a reputation for its party scene, with an array of popular bars and clubs on the famous strip. It's not just the strip that attracts visitors though the beautiful Mediterranean weather is also a big draw, especially in the summer.

Although September temperatures do drop some, it can still be considered a summer month by any standard and is a great time to visit the resort. The average temperature is still high at 21°C while during the day, temperatures can hit a maximum of 26°C. This can feel rather warm, but sea breezes will cool things down a little, especially on the beach. Night times are cooler but are still comfortable enough for walking around on an evening, dropping to a low of just 13°C.

September is still an excellent time to vacation in Magaluf for those with intentions of spending hours per day on the beach.

Sea Temperature
The water will still be warm enough for swimming throughout the month too and tourists can take part in water sports for a good while longer. During September, the average sea temperature is a lovely 25°C.
Rain
The amount of rainfall accumulated rises just slightly from the dry months of June, July and August, but not by much. There is an average of 50mm of precipitation which is spread over 8 days. This only results in a 24% chance of rain, so most days will be dry and bright.
