May was colder and drier than normal

The highest temperature in Majorca was 30.1C at the university weather station in Palma on the tenth. The lowest, four days earlier, was 1.5C at the Son Torrella station in Escorca.

Although not as warm as usual, this didn't mean that there was excessive rainfall. The average for the whole of the Balearics was down 34% to 25.1 litres per square metre. In Majorca, the average was 27.9 litres, 27% lower than normal. The heaviest rain - 33 litres - was in Pollensa on the twenty-fifth.
