Our guide to the weather in Mallorca during March
The temperature slowly builds in Mallorca during March, but the island still has a fresh feel. The Mediterranean sea remains cold and the weather fairly damp. The climate is warmer than the UK winter, and so March is an ideal month for those looking for deserted beaches and quiet resorts. We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Mallorca, covering the last 12 years up to 2024, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Mallorca weather in March.
What's the weather like in Mallorca in March?
The weather in Mallorca can be unpredictable in March. Whilst there are plenty of sunny days, there are also quite a few rainy days. And when it rains in Mallorca, it pours. Sometimes the rain only lasts for half an hour, but sometimes it goes on for the entire day. I visited Mallorca in March a couple of years ago and half of the time in rained, whilst the other half was very sunny. The average temperature in Mallorca in March is 17 degrees Celsius.

What should I pack for a holiday in Mallorca during March?
Don't forget to pack a rain coat, as well as layers, as the weather is quite unpredictable. Also, many hotels in Palma don't have heating, so bring a long sleeves pajama. Good shoes are a must, especially if you want to hike around the National Parks of the island.

What's great about Mallorca in March?
There are very few tourists in Mallorca in March. Even if the weather might not be the best, it is worth travelling here to experience the most beautiful beaches on the island without the crowds. You can have popular places like Cala Figuera or Cala Mondrago all to yourself. Hiring a car in March is also so much cheaper and the roads outside of Palma de Mallorca are empty. There are also plenty of free car parks around the island, as the big hotels in resorts are not open yet, so you can use their car parks for free if you hire a car.

What's the temperature like in Mallorca during March?
The temperature reaches around 16℃ during the daytime in March, falling away to 10℃ at night. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Mallorca during March?
On average, there will be 3 rainy days during the month, amounting to 42.8mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Mallorca during March?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a gentle breeze that increases to moderate at times during March. With moderate air temperatures, any breeze will feel cool.
Is it too cold to swim in the sea in Mallorca during March?
The water around Mallorca is a bracing 14℃ during March and would be considered too cold for swimming. Those who are a bit more hardy or frequently swim in cooler open water might want to take a quick dip. A wetsuit would be advisable if you wish to spend longer than 5 minutes in the water.
