Cala Rajada: Cloudy but dry — around 25 °C in the afternoon

Today Cala Rajada looks a bit greyer than usual. The sun is hiding behind a continuous cloud layer, but you can safely cross off the umbrella alarm: the forecast reports a 0 % chance of rain, consistent with Cala Rajada today: Clouds, wind — and a perfect walk by the sea. For anyone planning a leisurely walk along the harbor or a coffee on the terrace, that's good news.

Moderate temperatures — pleasant, not oppressive

Thermometers start at about 22.8 °C in the morning. Around midday and in the afternoon the mercury climbs to roughly 25.0 °C — exactly the weather when a short-sleeved shirt is fine, but a light jacket should still be within reach. At night it stays mild at approximately 24.3 °C, so no cool evenings in sight.

Apparent temperatures, wind and air

The feels-like temperatures are close to the official values: around 23.3 °C in the morning, about 25.5 °C during the day. Air pressure is stable at 1022 hPa, humidity is about 75 %. The wind comes from north-northwest (around 346°) at a moderate speed of about 3.1 m/s with gusts around 3.2 m/s. Boat owners will be pleased: rather calm seas, no big waves.

What the weather means for the day

In short: cloudy, but dry. For everyday life that means open windows, a cappuccino on the terrace and seagulls occasionally shrieking over the harbor. The promenade is more relaxed today — fewer sunbathers, more space in the bays and free tables in the cafés. An advantage for locals and visitors seeking peace and quiet.

The light northerly wind is just strong enough to mess up your hair, but too weak for great sailing. Fishermen are still going out as usual, and walkers can stroll along the pier without getting their shoes wet. Photographers will find soft lighting today: no harsh shadows and lovely pastel tones in the sky.

Tips for the afternoon

My tip: Around 5 pm a walk toward the lighthouse of Capdepera is particularly beautiful. The colors are muted, visibility is usually clear, and the promenade cafés still have seats — ideal for a late café con leche with a sea view. Shorter walks along Cala Agulla are also worthwhile; the coves feel calmer today and invite you to take a deep breath.

Short-term notes

Current models show no significant changes in the next few hours. Cala Rajada on September 24: Mix of Sun, Showers and Mild Temperatures.

The Mediterranean can be moody, as we know — a bit of caution never hurts. For the moment though: take a deep breath, count the seagulls and enjoy the relaxed, cloudy, dry day in Cala Rajada. It’s one of those rare opportunities to experience the island at an unhurried pace; contrast this with Cala Rajada on September 22: Rainy but Cozy.
