What's the weather like in Sa Coma in August?
August is the hottest month of the year for Sa Coma and visitors flock to the region during this time of the year to enjoy all that the city and island has to offer. The only blip to a holiday during this month is that it is not as dry as the previous one. However, any rain showers are likely to be short-lived and won't play too large of a role in disrupting a holiday in the area.
Temperature
While it is warm throughout the entire month, visitors will still want to consult an extended forecast before leaving home. The average daily afternoon high for this time of the year is a very warm 30°C (86°F). However, this warmth can be tempered somewhat by the breezes that come off the nearby ocean. Additionally, the region can be a lot cooler than other spots in Spain during the same time period. The average overnight low is a mild 19°C (66°F). Throughout the day, the average daily temperature is 25°C (77°F).
Sea Temperature
Sea surface temperatures are also the warmest of the year during the month. The sea is almost like bathwater with an average temperature of 26°C (79°F). With waters like this, all day can be spent in the sea thanks to a number of water sports that are offered in the region.
Rain
Rainfall amounts are slightly higher than they were in the previous month, but it is still not too much cause for concern when planning a holiday during this time period. The average rainfall for the month is 20mm. This rain is expected to fall over a period of 6 days. As a result, much of the month remains on the dry side allowing visitors to take advantage of the region's opportunities.

Beaches in Sa Coma in August
Cala Barca
Just a short drive from Sa Coma is one of the best spots on the island for those interested in snorkelling and scuba diving. Cala Barca is a small beach of only 35 metres long by 25 metres deep, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in other ways. Full of golden sand, the beach is surrounded by pine and oak trees.
Thanks to its sheltered nature, it is popular not only with divers and snorkelers, but also with families who don't want to contend with large waves. There are showers and toilets, but no lifeguarding service. However, this is a great spot to take advantage of the warmest sea surface temperatures of the year.

Things to do in Sa Coma in August
Mallorca Wine Tours
Since August is the hottest month of the year, what better way to cool down than with a cold glass of wine? Mallorca Wine Tours offers a wide variety of tours at numerous different price points. Guests may choose a VIP tour, bike and wine tour or a helicopter wine tour just to name a few. These tours are great to do as a couple or with friends and family.
Soller
This is also the time of the year when it's worth taking a trip to the city of Soller. A city festival culminates in the final evening of Gran Nit del Foc where people come dressed as demons and there are fireworks going off throughout the night. Another tradition is to jump into the fountain to wet your clothes and let the fireworks shower down on top of you, though this may be one to watch rather than partake in.
