Climate in Son Maixella (Son Maxella) — Country Estate on Valldemossa's Tramuntana Slopes
Son Maixella sits at 182 meters elevation in the municipality of Valldemossa — on the southern slopes of the Tramuntana, which rank among the rainiest locations on all of Mallorca. Those who know this estate experience a climate with its own character: fresher than Palma, yet still far removed from the raw conditions of the Tramuntana highlands.
Rainfall is the defining climatic feature of this zone. Valldemossa lies within the Tramuntana lee effect for moist northwesterly winds and in the convergence zone of Mediterranean autumn cyclones — annual totals likely far exceed the 513 mm of the Palma aggregator value (AEMET Palma: 449 mm). Citing a precise figure without a dedicated weather station would, however, be misleading. What is known: November is the wettest month in the Valldemossa area; autumn and winter are the rainy seasons.
Summer is mild and pleasant: at 182 m elevation, daytime highs generally stay below those of the coast. According to aggregator climate data for Palma, the July maximum is around 31°C — for Son Maixella at 182 m, 'up to around 30°C' is the more realistic estimate. July is also the driest month here, with around 9 mm according to aggregator climate data for the Palma region.
Winter at the Valldemossa estate is cooler than on the coast: in January, the daily average according to aggregator climate data for Palma as a reference is around 11°C — at 182 m it is likely somewhat lower. Frost is more common than in Palma and can occur at coastal elevations.
The nearest coast is Port de Valldemossa. The Balearic Sea reaches around 26°C in July according to aggregator climate data.

Note on data sources: Son Maixella has no dedicated AEMET climate normal station. Climate values are based on aggregator climate data for Palma de Mallorca (T3 source, minimum proxy) and the AEMET station B228 Palma. The Valldemossa area is considered wetter than Palma — figures without a dedicated station remain indicative values.
