A day for Puig de Randa and Gordiola

Climate in Algaida — elevated inland climate on the edge of the plain
Algaida sits at 201 meters above sea level in the western Plà de Mallorca, where the flat plain gives way to the first hills toward Puig de Randa and Randa. At 201 meters, Algaida is one of the higher-elevation villages in the Plà — and that shows in the climate: slightly cooler and slightly wetter than the lower-lying neighboring municipalities.
In summer, daily highs based on T3-Aggregator climate data run around 29°C — a notch below the values recorded at lower inland locations (roughly 31–32°C) thanks to the elevation. The daily average sits at around 24°C. July is the driest month, averaging about 9 mm of precipitation — even at 201 meters, the Mediterranean summer stays dry. Annual precipitation is estimated at around 490 mm — above the AEMET figure for Palma (449 mm), boosted by the altitude and proximity to Puig de Randa, which acts as a local orographic barrier and squeezes out slightly more rainfall under certain weather patterns. November is the wettest month, at around 85 mm.
Winters in Algaida are cooler than in lower inland areas. In January, the daily average is around 10°C. The elevation and the exposed position on the plateau make nighttime cold somewhat more pronounced; frost is rare but somewhat more likely here than on the low plain. Visitors exploring the village of Algaida or the hamlet of Randa who plan to hike up Puig de Randa will find the most comfortable temperatures in April and October.
