Today's weather in Banyalbufar
Currently 26.6 °C with bright sunshine, feeling around 22.4 °C — pleasantly warm and dry. That's the weather in Banyalbufar, which feels fairly mild today despite the high daytime temperatures.
During the day it will warm up a little more, with a high around 30 °C; the air stays calm at only about 3.6 km/h wind and the chance of precipitation is roughly 1%. That means stable conditions for walks along the Tramuntana terraces and relaxed breaks in the shade. Temperatures in Banyalbufar vary little — the lows are barely below the current reading, so Banyalbufar will remain warm throughout the day.
Perfect for a wine tasting and terrace photos
With so much sun, a wine tasting is a great idea — the local Malvasia is a real find, grown here and ideal to sample in the small bodegas. The steep vineyard terraces are particularly photogenic now, especially when the light softens. For sunset it's worth finding a spot with a sea view early.
Short-term outlook: Tomorrow will be sunny again with around 27.9 °C.

Climate in Banyalbufar — Terraced Village on the Windy West Coast
Banyalbufar is one of Mallorca's most wind-exposed locations: the terraced village clings to the steep coastline of the Serra de Tramuntana, facing the western sea directly. The municipality spans several elevation levels — the municipal area reaches up to 564 m above sea level, while the village center sits lower. This position on the western flank of the Tramuntana creates a climate that differs noticeably from the lowlands.
Climatically, Banyalbufar is shaped by the interplay of two forces: Atlantic-influenced western fronts from the Mediterranean meet the steep coastline and force orographic rainfall. In autumn and winter, precipitation here is more frequent and more intense than in the interior or along the southern coast. Based on reference values from the Sóller valley (~12 km away), the region receives at least around 590 mm annually — and the higher-elevation west coast likely sees even more. Palma, at around 510 mm, is well below that.
Summer in Banyalbufar is pleasant: sea breezes reach the terraces directly, and July daytime highs — estimated from climate data in the neighboring region — come in around 27°C, more moderate than on the central plain. With roughly 10 mm of rainfall in July, summer is reliably dry. The coast directly below offers small swimming coves; water temperatures in the Balearic Sea run around 25°C in July.
Winter in Banyalbufar is raw: the Tramuntana's westerly wind hits the coast without warning, and the upper slopes of the municipality can freeze during strong cold-air intrusions. The average daily temperature in January in this region is around 8°C — well below the coastal values recorded in Palma. The village's famous terraced vineyards are adapted to these conditions: the local 'Malvasia' grape variety benefits from the elevation and the heavy autumn rains.
Note on data sources: No climate station data exists for Banyalbufar. The figures are derived from T3 climate data for the Sóller valley and should be treated as reference values only. The municipality's elevation ambiguity — village center versus full municipal area — makes precise temperature readings uncertain.
