Campanet Weather

Climate in Campanet — On the Edge of the Tramuntana in Northern Mallorca

Campanet sits at 132 meters above sea level on the northern fringe of the Mallorcan plain, just a few kilometers from the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana. That location shapes the climate in tangible ways: the village is neither a coastal resort nor a true mountain station — it occupies a transition zone influenced by both climatic realms.

The proximity to the Tramuntana shows up clearly in rainfall: proxy data from the Alcúdia area (roughly 15 km to the east) puts the annual average at around 600 mm — well above Palma's AEMET reference figure of 449 mm. Autumn Mediterranean depressions that push into the northern part of the island and collide with the mountains can produce particularly heavy precipitation along the Tramuntana foothills. November is the wettest month, averaging around 89 mm.

Summers in Campanet are warm — July daytime highs reach about 32°C, slightly above coastal values, since the inland location rules out any cooling sea breeze. On the other hand, the altitude and proximity to the mountains keep nights pleasantly cool. Rainfall in July averages just around 11 mm, making summer genuinely dry.

One distinctive feature of this Tramuntana-edge location is air circulation: under the right weather conditions, cool mountain air flows down into the foreland — air that never reaches coastal towns at those moments. This effect is climatically relevant for Campanet in qualitative terms, though no reliable T1/T2 statistical frequency data exist to quantify it.

Winters are noticeably colder than on the coast. The daily mean in January sits at around 11°C, and on frost nights temperatures can drop below 0°C — something that almost never happens at sea level. Hikers who want to explore the Tramuntana routes at a relaxed pace will find Campanet a solid base from October through April, though they should be prepared for sudden weather changes.

Note on data sources: Campanet has no dedicated AEMET climate-normal station and no direct entry on klimatabelle.info. The climate figures are based on proxy data from Alcúdia (~15 km to the east, T3) and should be treated as indicative values. AEMET B228 (1981–2010) was used for Palma reference figures.
