The island of Menorca has a typical Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot summers. It is oftentimes called the ’windy city’ most probably for its widespread, northerly winds termed as the tramontana. Many tourists may not notice this particular breeze as they come and leave the island. Nonetheless, the locals feel the strongest presence of the tramontana in the month of March. Actually, the locals have given names to the several strong winds that come Menorca’s way, and are distinguished by their directions. During the summer months of July and August, Menorca experiences up to 11 hours of sunlight everyday, and this is when a lot of tourist flock the island to bask in its warm, golden glory. A lesser number of sunny days are enjoyed during the months of November, December, and January. The highest amount of rainfall is experienced during October and onto the winter months, resulting in a more quiet and subdued ambience.
