Here is the Menorca Weather Forecast - By: Philip Bromley

Why are we obsessed with the climate and why is it that one of the internet's most common searches is for "The 10 day Forecast".

Menorca is a wonderfully different holiday island and yet the question of the weather always intrigues would be visitors so here is some information for future tourists and those planning an out of season break.

I am not sure if it is solely a British phenomina but I do like to look at the weather forecast for Menorca before going on holiday, especially the 10 Day Forecast. The weather forecast is one of the most sort
after searches on the internet.

There is a legend in Menorca that the Winds of Menorca change people's personalities! Call me a sceptic but I do like the legend, but true or not many visitors do become regulars as a result of their first visit.

Obviously the climate makes a strong impression on visitors. Menorca's weather, as one would think, is Mediterranean.

Summer temperatures reach into the low 30s but the average is a comfortable 24ºC. Winter sees a marked drop with some and sunny periods but the average temperture is fall in winter to 11ºC, but there are still sunny days with tempertures reaching 15º or 16º.

The islands rainfall is generally low except in the Autumn. However rainfall varies throughout the island and is highest in the North and the interior and lowest in the south eastern parts. Menorca has a cool north wind, known as the Tramuntana, which tempers the temperature and has resulted in the unique Minorcan landscape.

Whilst on holiday in September one year there were severe gales which delay Ferry Services to the other islands and to the mainland. The gales did also cause significant damage on the nearby island of Mallorca.

In October 2008 we chanced the weather with a weeks break and could not have wished for better weather so late in the season|October can be a wet month but we have taken a holiday in mid October and had glorious weather save for one evening when it rained heavily but it was only a passing thunderstorm.

The Menorcan season is short but we have never had a holiday ruined by rain in all our Menorcan holidays. The UK weather can be problematical but Menorca will give you warm evening and sunny day for significantly more of the year than anywhere in the British Isles.

For devotees, like me, here is the forecast!
