As the day goes on, it will become significantly warmer in the Tramuntana: temperatures in Escorca will rise to 31.2°C, while rain is hardly an issue with a probability of just 3 percent. Skies will remain mostly clear, and the heat can build up considerably, especially in sheltered spots. If you're out and about, it is best to plan longer walks for the early hours and take plenty of water. Taking breaks in the shade is also a good idea today, as Escorca will be summery and dry.
Ideal for Lluc and short walks in the mountains
A visit to Lluc Monastery is well suited to this sunny day: the complex is pleasantly nestled in the mountain landscape and offers shaded spots along the way. For a hike to Torrent de Pareis, it is best to set off early because of the heat and assess the route realistically. The gorge is among the most spectacular in the Mediterranean, but good preparation is essential in summer temperatures.
Tomorrow will remain sunny, with a slightly milder 28.4°C.

Climate in Escorca — Mallorca's Rainiest Municipality
Escorca sits at 481 meters, deep in the Serra de Tramuntana. It is the island's least densely populated municipality — and its most extreme in climate. Those who know Escorca know a Mallorca that is fundamentally different from the beach climate of the south.
The defining climate factor is precipitation. The Tramuntana range acts as a barrier for moist Mediterranean air: what is carried in from the north and northeast must rise, cooling as it goes. The result is high rainfall — the literature cites annual totals for the Tramuntana mountain core that are considerably above Palma's figure of around 470 mm. Verified station data specific to Escorca were not available for this article; qualitatively, the figures are a multiple of coastal values.
Temperatures are noticeably cooler than on the coast. In summer, Escorca is a refuge from the heat — the air at nearly 500 meters is perceptibly fresher than at the beaches. In winter, nighttime temperatures regularly drop below 5°C; frost is more common than on the coast. On the surrounding peaks, such as Puig Major (1,445 m), snow falls in severe winters. In Escorca itself, snow is less frequent but not unheard of.
Fog is a familiar sight: when moist air is pushed over the Tramuntana ridge, the Torrent de Pareis valley and the area around the monastery of Lluc can disappear into fog for hours at a time, while the sun shines down on the coast below.
The Torrent de Pareis — one of Mallorca's most celebrated hiking gorges — lies within the municipality of Escorca and may be impassable after heavy rainfall. Anyone planning to visit the canyon should keep an eye on the weather forecast for the region.
