Water temperature in Cala d'Or
A carefree Mediterranean is a nutshell to characterize the resort island of Mallorca, nestled in the western part of the Mediterranean basin. Its own, closed by the Balearic archipelago, the "Catalan-Balearic Sea" does not know significant tides and amplitude fluctuations in temperature. Tides in the Mediterranean Sea, as a rule, create water level differences of no more than 30 cm, and the guaranteed warming during the year reaches +15-16 ° C with the maximum values in July and August (water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea during this period reaches +25-26 ° C).
The coast of Cala d'Or is also characterized by the complete absence of waves in the Mediterranean Sea due to the special relief of the bays, as well as increased salinity (up to 40 g/kg) and turquoise transparency (due to the scarcity of nutrients and plankton) of the sea water.
There is no rainy season as such in Cala d'Or. December-January are considered the wettest months, but even then the rainfall is not annoying (the monthly average is 30mm). When the "rainy season in Cala d'Or" begins, the temperature of the Mediterranean Sea drops to a marginal +15-16°C, increasing the likelihood of storms in the bays.
