Chart average temperatures in Formentera.
We can quietly say that
Formentera, being the southernmost island of the Balearics (practically half way between Barcelona and Algeria),
enjoys a very good climate for the whole year, warm and sunny in the summer, mild rainy and ventilated in the winter.
The rains during the summer period result to be almost nonexistent, however it is a factor that depends the years. Last summer there have been some days of heavy rain at the end of August, however then the sun has held up until November, granting one of the best autumns of the recent past. The wind is steady in the winter period, from half October to half April, and it is enough rare that blows for more than one day in the summer period. However, being an island where the greatest part of the people tend to rent scooters and quads,
our dear suggestion is to put in the suitcase a K-way for any eventuality, because the evening is always a little chilly.
WHAT ABOUT THE WATER'S TEMPERATURE? Another information of fundamental importance to decide when to come on the island is surely the
temperature of the water! Here following you will find a chart with the medium temperatures of the sea during the whole year.

Chart average water temperatures in Formentera. AND WHICH ARE THE BEST PERIODS FOR A VACATION IN FORMENTERA? Beside the period that goes from November to February (even if there are few chiringuitos that remain opened for the weekends and in the sunny days!!!) that is really calm, here following we will summarize which are the most suitable periods of the year to come to find us on the island, also taking advantage of the good weather and of the good temperatures.
- March – depending on when the Easter falls and with the arrival of the spring, the island usually begins to animate. For the more athletic there are many events such as marathons that cross in long and wide the whole island. Temperatures begin rise, the days lengthen and there is already the possibility to spend the days in the beach to sunbath. If it is windy, it is a bit chill and as the sun sets temperatures fall by 5/6 degrees…
- April – Most of the businesses begin to open, especially the chiringuitos and the restaurants along the beach: the summer season is near therefore it is a good period to come without necessarily finding all the beaches too crowded.
- May & June – Honestly we believe that it is one of the best two periods to enjoy the island. The summer season for all the activities is already begun, and it is the perfect mix between hot weather and tourism.
- July and August – Without doubt the period devoted to whom want to enjoy the amusing aspect of the “movida” on the island. But it is also a proper period for families that wish to spend some time in total calm, the happy hour time is long gone!!! You can spend hours at the beach without even noticing it, however it is always very complicated to cut out your own corner of quiet in the most popular beaches. You must search around some areas in Mitjorn! The water is at a perfect temperature to spend whole days bathing and relaxing!
- September and October - Along with May and June surely the best period: September and October in Formentera are fantastic! Actually, it is perhaps the best period because the days are still long enough to enjoy a beautiful sunset. The sea warmed up for the whole summer and therefore even if the temperature is slightly lower than August, the final effect is perfect! The cost of life (accommodation, scooter rental, restaurants etc etc) goes down quite a lot in comparison to the preceding months. Moreover, the city council has been pushing a lot in recent years to develop activities for families and not. Courses of horseback riding, cycling lanes, canoe and kayak.
Long story short, to sum up the concept as marketers do: "Whatever period you choose, Formentera is perfect island for your vacations! "
In case you’re still wondering what to choose between hotels and apartments, here is a list of things to known about accommodation in Formentera.
