Ibiza is known for its endless blue skies, sun-soaked beaches, and long, golden evenings — but the island also has its own rhythm of seasons, subtle weather shifts, and a few surprises along the way. Whether you’re planning to sunbathe, hike, dance all night or hide away in a quiet finca, knowing what to expect from the weather can shape your trip more than you’d think.
Here’s your full guide to Ibiza’s climate, from the dry heat of August to the lush, green calm of January.
🌼 Spring (March – May)
Temperature: 15°C to 24°C
Vibe: Calm, fresh, ideal for nature & early explorers
Rain chance: Low to moderate, mostly in March
Spring is one of Ibiza’s best-kept secrets. Wildflowers bloom, the hills are green, and the crowds haven’t arrived yet. April and May are perfect for hiking, beach walks, and slow sunsets. The sea is still chilly, but the island starts to buzz quietly in the background.
☀️ Summer (June – August)
Temperature: 27°C to 35°C (or more inland)
Vibe: High energy, high season, high demand
Rain chance: Close to zero
This is peak Ibiza. Long, hot days and balmy nights. The sun is intense, and the beaches fill early. Expect dry air, intense UV, and very little shade — especially in July and August. Sea temperatures rise to a perfect 25°C+. It’s paradise, but also busy — so plan accordingly. Drink water, use SPF, and book everything early.
🍁 Autumn (September – November)
Temperature: 20°C to 30°C (cooling gradually)
Vibe: Softer light, warm sea, slower pace
Rain chance: Increases in October & November
Autumn is Ibiza’s golden hour. September still feels like summer, but by late October, the island breathes out. It’s the perfect season for beach days without the crowds, long lunches, and moody sunsets. Expect the occasional rain shower and a gentle drop in temperature.
❄️ Winter (December – February)
Temperature: 10°C to 18°C
Vibe: Quiet, local, green and raw
Rain chance: Moderate, with occasional storms
Ibiza in winter is peaceful, green, and still sunny — but it’s a different world. Many tourist spots close, and locals reclaim the island. There’s beauty in the silence: almond blossoms in January, crisp air, and still-warm midday sun. It’s not beach weather, but it’s ideal for walking, working remotely, or simply slowing down.

Ibiza’s sea stays swimmable from late May to mid-October. Out of season, it’s brisk — but some still brave it for the thrill (or the Instagram).
☁️ Does It Rain in Ibiza?
Yes — but not much, and rarely for long. Most rain falls in short, dramatic bursts between October and March. Flash storms are rare, but possible. In summer, it’s bone-dry, with blue skies for weeks on end.
🌬️ Wind & Microclimates
Ibiza often has a coastal breeze, especially in the east and north. Inland areas can feel hotter and more still. The island’s small size creates subtle microclimates — it can be raining in San José while the sun shines in Santa Eulalia.
📅 What’s the Best Time to Visit?
That depends on what you’re coming for:
- June & September – best all-round balance of weather and space
- July & August – high energy, party season, guaranteed heat
- April–May / October – peaceful, nature-focused, great for exploring
- Winter – creative retreats, remote work, or pure silence
