Late Summer in Alcúdia: Sunny Tranquility on September 12

A quiet late-summer day on the harbor promenade

Already early in the morning around 8:15 the first walkers with their dogs were on the harbor promenade. The clatter of leashes, the muffled call of a vendor and the cries of seagulls blended with the soft clinking of coffee spoons. The sun climbed quickly higher, the sky was practically cloudless – one of those days when you automatically slow down, take a deep breath and order a second coffee on the terrace. Anyone walking through Alcúdia today can almost feel the island exhale in relaxation, as in Late Summer in Alcúdia: Clear Sky and Mild Warmth on 15 September 2025.

Temperatures during the day

The early temperature was a pleasant 22–23 °C, ideal for an autumn walk without sweating. By midday the thermometer rose to around 27 °C – still clearly T-shirt weather, but no longer that oppressive summer heat. In the afternoon it dropped slightly to about 25–26 °C, and in the evening it remains mild at around 24 °C. In short: no weather drama, rather the cozy end of summer.

How the weather feels

“Feels like” values matter when you button your shirt or raise your collar. Today the perceived temperature at midday was just under 28 °C, and about 23 °C in the early morning. You might only need a light jacket for a windy sundowner on the pier – many locals wear it simply because the sea feels a bit fresher in the evening.

Air, wind and clouds

The air pressure was steady around 1021 hPa, the humidity moderate at about 60–65 %. A steady breeze from the southeast averaged 7 m/s with occasional gusts. Just enough for the seagulls to glide gracefully over the harbor, for sails to fill gently and for the palms in the park to flutter softly – but not so strong that sun umbrellas go looking for freedom. Precipitation? Not on the menu: the chance of rain was 0 %.

Tips for the day in Alcúdia

If you're looking for a small program: A morning walk to the old town is always worthwhile; similar conditions were noted in Alcúdia on September 19: Clouds, Sea Air and Walks Instead of Sunbathing. The cobbled streets are pleasantly empty now, the lamp posts cast their warm light and the bakers bring fresh bread. Around 10:00 the Café by the Harbor is usually quiet – a good moment for brunch with a view of the boats. In the afternoon a jump into the sea at one of the small coves west of the main beach is a good idea; the water is often clearer there and the atmosphere more relaxed than at the main beach itself.

For the evening I recommend a stroll through the narrow lanes of the old town. The lanterns give a cozy glow, the pizza bakers fire up their ovens and somewhere you can smell roasted garlic and oregano. For a sundowner on the pier a thin jacket can be useful – not because you'll be cold, but because it's nice to feel a little luxuriously sheltered from the sea breeze.

In short: an uncomplicated, sunny day in Alcúdia that feels good – without weather surprises. Pack the sunscreen, leave the rain jacket at home and take time for a second walk at sunset. Mallorca's late summer has something calming today, much like Alcúdia on August 10: Sun, Sea and a Touch of Summer Evening.
