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 southern shore is gentler and holds most of the population. The year brings 55 rainy days and 2,700 hours of sun. The winter score is 1 out of 5. The island is empty in winter, and that is its defining property rather than a side effect.
