Climate in Son Gual — Palma's Eastern Plain
Son Gual lies east of central Palma at just 5 meters above sea level — a flat, largely open location between the city's outskirts and the agricultural plain stretching toward the Ctra. de Manacor. The climate matches that of the Bahia de Palma: Mediterranean, with warm, dry summers and mild, moderately wet winters.
Climate data draws on AEMET station B228 Palma Hafen as the nearest reliable reference station. According to AEMET, annual precipitation totals 449 mm — concentrated in autumn and winter, with a pronounced summer dry period. Son Gual's position at near-sea level means the afternoon sea breeze (Embat) can sweep unobstructed across the plain, providing natural cooling on summer afternoons.
Summers are warm: the daily mean in July stands at 25.7°C according to AEMET, with highs of around 29°C. These figures are comparable to Palma's city center — the difference lies in the open, exposed terrain, which tends to be somewhat windier than densely built-up urban areas. For golfers on the Son Gual course, this matters: the afternoon breeze cools down a round but can also affect shot-making.
Autumn brings the typical Balearic rainfall: October still offers pleasant temperatures, with a daily mean of 20.2°C according to AEMET, while rain becomes more frequent. That combination — still warm, but with spells of green — makes the autumn months attractive for off-peak visits. Winter is mild; the January daily mean sits just under 12°C.
Anyone staying overnight in Son Gual and the surrounding area, or viewing a finca, will find climatically favorable conditions from April through November. Weather conditions across the wider Palma area are covered by the Mallorca Climate Table and the overview page on Mallorca Climate.
Note on data sources: Son Gual has no dedicated AEMET climate station. All climate figures are based on AEMET B228 Palma Hafen (1981–2010) as the nearest reference station.
