Mallorca in December
Around 12.5 °C by day, sea 17.2 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 5.
December on Mallorca is 12.5 °C by day and 17.2 °C in the sea. Load is 2 out of 5 in Palma and 1 in Pollença in the north: the island has gone into winter.
December is a month to spend in Palma rather than Pollença. Palma works: 443,196 residents, a winter score of 5 out of 5, 5 out of 5 for living without a car, 7 international schools, a hospital 10 minutes away and the only railway station on the islands in our base. From Pollença it is 60 minutes to the airport. For anyone choosing between a city and a village by the sea, December is the deciding month: in summer there is barely a difference, in winter it is everywhere.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 55 rainy days a year, 68% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
