The rainfall in Menorca in May averages at 29mm (higher than June, July or August), therefore there is a small chance that you will catch a thunderstorm, however, there are plenty of activities to keep you busy on the odd rainy day! This is the beginning of the summer season, so beaches are quiet and villa rental prices are low.
