Today's weather in Selva
If you’re checking “weather Selva” or “temperature Selva”, today’s temperatures are set to range from 12.7 to 19.6°C — mild rather than warm. The forecast for the current hour, from 2 am, shows overcast skies and a temperature of 14.4°C, feeling like 13.1°C, with winds of 9.7 km/h.
There’s a 57 percent chance of rain today, so a lightweight rain jacket is worth bringing along. That doesn’t mean it will rain all day, but it’s best to keep longer outings flexible so you can cut them short if needed. With a high of just under 20°C, it should feel pleasant outdoors as long as it stays dry. If you’re planning to explore Selva on foot today, several light layers will help you stay comfortable as temperatures change.
Time for olive oil and a café stop
A visit to an olive mill in the Tramuntana foothills would fit nicely into today’s plans, provided tours are available — check opening times before setting off. Afterwards, you could stop at a café in Caimari without having to spend too long outdoors. Although many walks towards Lluc start there, the chance of rain makes a short walk with an easy option to turn back the more relaxed choice.
Tomorrow is expected to be partly cloudy and a little warmer, with temperatures reaching 20.2°C.

Climate in Selva — where the Tramuntana writes the weather
Selva sits at 131 meters above sea level on the southeastern flank of the Serra de Tramuntana, where the mountains gradually give way to the central plain. The landscape is no longer dramatically alpine, but the proximity to the range still shapes the climate: more rainfall than in Palma, cooler nights than in the coastal towns, and summers that are warm and dry.
The most distinctive climate feature of Selva is the elevated rainfall in autumn and winter. The Tramuntana intercepts moist winds from the Mediterranean, and on its southeastern flank — where Selva sits — clouds pile up. Annual averages derived from proxy climate data at nearby stations (Alcúdia, ~20 km to the northeast) suggest roughly 600 mm of precipitation — significantly more than the 449 mm AEMET records for Palma. The wettest month is November, with around 89 mm as a baseline figure; in Selva itself, the orographic blocking effect of the Tramuntana likely pushes that number somewhat higher.
Summer in Selva is hot and dry — classic Mediterranean climate. In July, proxy climate data puts daily highs at around 31°C and average daily temperatures at around 25°C. Rainfall in July barely reaches 11 mm. The elevation means nights cool down a little more than on the coast, which many visitors find a welcome relief from the daytime heat.
Winter in Selva is mild but wetter than in Palma. The average daily temperature in January sits at around 11°C. Frost is rare but does occur occasionally during cold-air intrusions from the northwest — the proximity to the mountains makes that slightly more likely. February through April are often overcast and rainy, before the Mallorcan spring turns the hillsides green.
Anyone using Selva as a base for hiking in the Tramuntana or exploring the surrounding wine estates is best served by visiting from April to June or September to October: moderate temperatures and low chances of rain.
Additional climate information for the region is available in the article Biniamar Weather and at Mallorca Climate Chart. The Tramuntana context is explained in the article Tramuntana Wind Mallorca.
Note on data sources: Selva has no dedicated AEMET climate-normal station and no standalone T3 climate table. The climate values used here are based on T3-Aggregator data from Alcúdia (~20 km to the northeast) and Muro. Actual precipitation in Selva may be somewhat higher than the proxy values due to the Tramuntana orographic effect.
