Mild Late Summer in Palma: Clouds, Warmth and a Fresh Breeze

A late-summer Tuesday with a pleasant indecision

On September 14th, Palma seems unsure whether summer wants to send one last sign of life or whether autumn is already knocking gently. At 9 a.m. on Passeig del Born the cafés fill up, the air smells of fresh coffee and croissants, and people wear a light jacket more out of habit than necessity — Mallorcans simply like to be prepared.

Temperatures that invite you outdoors

The day starts mild at around 22.2 °C. By midday temperatures climb to just under 29.1 °C, in the afternoon they fall again to about 26.7 °C, and at night it stays pleasantly warm at approximately 24.7 °C. That is exactly the kind of warmth that invites you to stroll along the harbor: seagulls calling, the clack of sandals, and the occasional motorboat gliding gently through the water.

How the day feels

The felt temperatures complete the picture: about 22.7 °C in the morning, at midday the sun feels like 30.3 °C, in the afternoon the feeling eases to around 28.2 °C, and at night the perceived temperature hovers at about 25.2 °C. So anyone who spends a long time outdoors — at the Santa Catalina market or on a seaside promenade — should drink enough and bring a hat.

Air, wind and a touch of weather tech

Instruments report an air pressure of about 1020 hPa and humidity around 54%. A moderate northeast wind blows from roughly 60° at about 4.2 m/s, with gusts reaching up to 6 m/s. Cloud cover is at about 56%, and rain is practically excluded (0%). For beachgoers this means: be ready to move for sun and wind, for city strollers look for a shady spot.

Practical tips for the day

Light clothing, sunscreen and a water bottle are the bare minimum. A thin jacket for the evening is enough — the air remains mild. Those who want to spend the afternoon at the sea will find pleasant waves and enough breeze at Platja de Palma or Portixol to enjoy the fresh sea air. The old town terraces are busy in the early evening: arrive a little earlier if you want a shaded spot.

A small, pleasant farewell to summer

All in all, this day is typical for the transition: friendly, a little moody, with enough sun to lift spirits and enough clouds to make the light interesting. For locals and visitors alike this means: go out into the fresh air, enjoy the small things — and maybe have one last ice cream before the street lamps come on.
