That depends on what you mean. We get the hottest and generally driest weather between May and September, with long settled spells of unbroken sunshine and good flying conditions early morning and evening. You can expect summer daylight hours to be HOT, with thermal activity picking up from about 10.00 am, making flying in the middle of the day less idyllic. Conditions settle down after about 6.00 pm, so you can expect two good flying sessions on even the hottest summer days. The other advantage of booking your flying course in the summer is that while you stress yourself out learning to fly, your family can be having a fabulous time on the beach. Even on the intensive course you’ll get the middle of the day to yourself, while we take a break from flying.
There are, however, some advantages in booking a course “off season” between October and March. Daylight hours are shorter, of course, and we do get spells of rain and wind in the winter months. You also won’t be doing masses of sunbathing, as the days are cooler. But you can also expect some decent spells of mild, sunny weather right through December and January and, because of the reduced thermal activity, we can often fly all day. Your accommodation and car hire costs are also lower!
The other big advantage of winter flying in Mallorca is that most of the tourists have gone home, lots of the busy resort hotels are closed and you get this wonderful island all to yourself! That means you can still shop till you drop in Palma, find lots of great restaurants serving every kind of wonderful food and visit all the scenic attractions on the island, but you aren’t competing with two million tourists.
