Alcúdia breathes: Blue sky and a light sea breeze entice you outdoors

Blue sky, scent of the sea and the streets of Alcúdia

At the harbor the pebbles crunch underfoot, the seagulls cry briefly, then calm sets in — this is how a day that practically begs to be spent outside begins. Alcúdia shows its mild side today: clear visibility, sunshine and temperatures that are perfect for a long walk along the Platja or a cozy coffee on the Plaça, a scene reminiscent of Summer Magic in Alcúdia: A Day That Smells of the Sea. Early in the morning the thermometer is just above 22 °C, and around 29 °C are expected in the afternoon.

Morning, midday, evening: the day's rhythm

Anyone walking by the Old Harbor at eight experiences the cool freshness of the sea — ideal for joggers and dog owners. Around midday values rise to about 28.9 °C; the sun is strong but not oppressive, much like reported in Alcúdia Today: Summer, Gentle Breeze and Playful Clouds. In the late afternoon it cools only slightly, and in the evening a pleasant roughly 24 °C remains. That's more than enough for an alfresco dinner or a sundowner on one of the small terraces.

How the weather feels

The perceived temperatures are very comfortable throughout the day: refreshing in the morning, warm at midday without stifling humidity. The moderate humidity of around 44 % ensures the warmth doesn't feel sticky. Especially pleasant: a steady, light breeze from the sea that can even be felt in the town's narrow streets.

Wind, air pressure and the small weather fine print

The wind turns today from the south-southwest (approximately 196°) and blows at about 5.3 m/s; gusts can reach up to 7.2 m/s. That's enough to make the palms on the Passeig rustle and cool the promenade. Air pressure is around 1016 hPa — stable conditions, with no sign of storm or sudden changes in the weather; confirm local updates at AEMET weather forecasts.

Practical tips for the day

Pack sunscreen and a hat; the sun is friendly but still has some power — see NHS sun safety guidance. Early risers should visit the Old Harbor when the fishers are still netting and the cafés are slowly opening. From ten o'clock the tables along the Carrer del Port start to fill — if you want a quiet spot, come a bit earlier or take a seat facing the Plaça.

For beach walks I recommend the shallower stretches: here the breeze is stronger and the water sparkles invitingly. And a local tip for a sundowner: the small terrace on the Plaça — sea view, quiet conversations, and the temperatures are so mild that you want to spend the evening outside.

Why this day feels good: Days like these at the end of summer are balm for locals and visitors alike. The island feels lively without being overheated; shops and terraces fill at a relaxed pace, children play at the water's edge, and the older neighbors sit and chat on the Plaça as usual. A day when you can leave the window open, smell salt and grilled fish, and fully enjoy being outside once more before the seasons noticeably change.

Conclusion: A classic Mallorcan late-summer day: plenty of sun, pleasant warmth and a welcome sea breeze, as noted in Alcúdia: A Sunny Farewell to August. Perfect for the beach, walks and an evening meal on the terrace — in short: a day to take a deep breath.
