Summer - May until October
The summer season and the first really warm beach days begin in May, with beautiful clear, sunny days and temperatures in the mid-twenties.
Between the months of June and September, there is very little rain fall. In August and September the temperature rises up to over 30º C. With water temperatures of 25º - 27º C, beach fans are right in their element... Continued below
The following charts show average temperatures including night time.
What to Wear
- May, June and September - In the evenings, when out and about, you might need a jumper or light jacket. Otherwise shorts, light-trousers and t-shirts will be ok. See the temperature charts above.
- July and August - The really hot season starts. You ought to be fine with t-shirts, short sleeve shirts and shorts. Lightweight cotton trousers are popular amongst the locals.
- October - pack a jumper and a jacket - best to be sure, as there are occasional rainy and windy days. The temperature in the evening can drop down to under 20º C!
Tip: May and October are really beautiful months to enjoy the island. There is a lots of room on the beaches and the island is very green and fresh.

Winter - November until April
Ibiza has a remarkably mild climate - even in winter the temperature rarely drops under 0º celsius. Snow is a sensation, and the children save snowballs for weeks by putting them in the fridge!
From November to April the average daytime temperature is about 15º celsius - however when the sun comes out this can rapidly climb to 25º C.
It does rain - but a general rule of thumb is that it only rains for 3 days at a time (at least that's what us locals say!). The rest of the time the sun shines down from clear, blue skies - have a look at our winter photos (Winter on Ibiza) to see what we mean!
Ibiza in Winter is not a beach destination, although on sunny days you'll find sun-worshippers on the beach, many of whom still swim!
Ibiza in Winter is more a time for lazy beach walks, sport and touring around the island, stocking up on some well-needed Vitamin D (from all the sunshine!).
The winter on Ibiza is actually sunnier and warmer than on Mallorca, which of course makes a winter break here such a good idea. If you fancy visiting Ibiza in winter remember to pack some warm clothes, as not all houses and hotels are centrally-heated. It is often warmer outside than it is inside (at least in our house!).
In return, the winter guests have the island to themselves - beautiful, deserted beaches with no sun beds or sunshades to spoil the view, and the wonderful feeling of peace and tranquility for which Ibiza is so well known.
