ERA5 almanac — 8 years of real data

Mallorca in July

Mallorca in July: 10% of days see measurable rain, 91°F average high, 80% of days historically clear (n=248, ERA5 2018–2025).

Historically one of the better months to visit Mallorca for sun: 80% of days are clear on average (n=248, avg high 91°F). Every percentage here is a historical average from 8 years of ERA5 data — not a forecast.

What you are reading: 8-year historical averages from the ERA5 reanalysis, not a forecast. A month that is historically 90% clear can still be overcast on your specific trip. For this week’s actual forecast, see the live Mallorca page. Both can be true at once: “historically strong in this month; this particular week is not.” We label which is which.

Sunshine & warmth in July

A second measure using actual sunshine hours (ERA5 sunshine_duration), not the daily weather code. A Lowcountry day with 12 hours of sun and a 25-minute afternoon storm is counted below as a warm, sunny day — because it was. How we define this.

Sunshine-based metrics for Mallorca in July. Primary: % of days ≥ 72°F with > 6 h of sunshine.
Period Warm & sunny (≥72°F, >6 h sun) Sample (n)
Early July
1st–15th		 100% n=120
Late July
16th–end		 100% n=128
Full month average 100% n=248
14.0 h median sunshine per day 100% of days exceed 8 h sunshine 10% of days see ≥ 1 mm rain — rain is not hidden
Comparison (old vs new): WMO-code “clear” bar: 80%. Sunshine-based “warm & sunny”: 100%. The 20-point gap is from brief afternoon convective storms that stamp the whole day as “rain” in the WMO code but leave the bulk of the sunshine untouched.
