Between April and October the weather in Menorca is magnificent, with April average highs of 18 deg C, rising through May’s 22 deg C to highs of 29 in July and August. September (26) and October (23) can be beautiful months, particularly since the average sea temperature is still around 23 deg C at the end of the season…
