Santa Ponsa is a popular tourist village in the municipality of Calvià in the southwest coast of Mallorca, the climate of Santa Ponsa is what makes it the perfect place to enjoy a holiday in Mallorca. Its numerous beaches, marina and atmosphere attracts hundreds of tourists every year. The hillside location means that it has a very dry climate with hot summers and mild winters which is why the terraces, restaurants, the promenade and the shops are full of life and thriving throughout the year. As with most of the other parts of the island Santa Ponsa enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, this climate has two very different seasons, on the one hand May to September the weather is hot and dry with an average temperature of 27ºC, with August being the hottest month.  And the other hand the winters are very mild seeing a lot more sunshine than most north Europe countries. From October to April the average temperature is 13° C. normally the coolest month is January but there is still 6-7 hours of sunshine! January though can be the wettest month as rain is most likely to fall during this month but remember rainy days in Mallorca only account for 51 days of the year so that means there are 314 days to enjoy the sunshine in Mallorca!
