Ibiza

What’s the weather like in Ibiza in May?

Ibiza sits in the Balearic Sea off the east coast of Spain and northern shores of Africa, which gives the island a typical Mediterranean climate. With summer just around the corner, you’ll get lots of sunshine and not much rain if you go on your Ibiza holidays in May.

Geographical influences

Ibiza’s quite a sheltered island because of its position close to mainland Spain and North Africa, while the Sa Talaiassa mountain brings a bit more protection to the east and west. As one of the summer’s early months, May sees sunshine hours getting longer and sea temperatures rising. Weather hazards such as dust storms from the Sahara Desert, tornadoes and water spouts are not very likely in May.
