Menorca in January
Around 11 °C by day, sea 15.1 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 1 out of 5 against 5.
January in Menorca is 11 °C by day and 15.1 °C in the sea. Load is 1 out of 5, the bottom of the scale.
January on Menorca is wind. The tramuntana blows from the north for days at a time, and the northern shore is bare because of it: the trees lean, the settlements are few. The year brings 55 rainy days and 2,700 hours of sun. The winter score is 1 out of 5 in Alaior and 3 in Maó. The island is empty in winter, and that is its defining property rather than a side effect.

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, 73% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
