Mallorca's warm October as Ibiza breaks rain record

Mallorca, in Spain’s Balearic Islands, has a very warm October in 2026, while Ibiza Airport records 264.9 litres of rain per square metre — its wettest October since records began there. The State Meteorological Agency, Aemet, reports the figures in a climate summary published on Tuesday. The airport also breaks its October record for rainfall in a single day, measuring 176.9 litres per square metre.

Rainfall across the Balearics is mostly normal to wet, with some parts of the Pityusic Islands classed as very wet. Aemet gives no separate temperature figure for Mallorca, but describes October across the Balearics as very warm.

Mainland Spain tells a different story on rainfall. It averages 52.1 litres per square metre, just 67% of the usual amount, making this the fifth-driest October of the century there. Its average temperature reaches 16.1°C, or 1.5°C above normal.
