Palma Weather in February

February weather

Palma feels cool and changeable in February, not bitterly cold. Days reach about 14°C, while rain falls on around seven days. You'll get some bright spells, but clouds are common and the evenings feel chilly. It's good weather for exploring the old town, visiting Palma Cathedral or climbing to Bellver Castle between showers.

Beach days are less reliable, and the sea may feel too cold for swimming. Long, exposed walks can be damp or windy, so keep the coast for a clear day. February is still winter, even when the sun feels warm.

What's on

Carnival celebrations can fall in February, though the dates change each year. Palma's Sa Rua parade brings costumes and floats through the streets, but it doesn't happen every February. Check the local calendar before you plan around it.

For couples who prefer quiet museum visits and café stops to beach crowds, February suits you well. It's low season, so the centre feels calmer than in summer, and accommodation is generally cheaper than during the busiest months. Some seasonal businesses may be closed, but Palma's main sights and city life carry on.

A good winter day

Use a dry morning for the walk up to Bellver Castle. The hill gives you a fine view over the city and bay, but its open paths can feel cold when the weather turns. Later, warm up in the old town with an ensaïmada, a soft, spiral Mallorcan pastry. Ca'n Joan de s'Aigo is a well-known stop for one with hot chocolate.

February's shorter days leave less time for wandering than in spring or summer. Keep indoor sights, such as the cathedral, in mind for a rainy spell, and save a relaxed stroll along Passeig del Born for sunshine.
