Palma on September 15: A mild, sunny day for promenades and café terraces

Sunny start in Palma – get out into the fresh air

Good morning from Palma! Today the city shows its mild side: blue sky, patches of sunlight on the plane trees of Passeig del Born and the faint cries of seagulls over the harbor. No cloud disturbs the view of the cathedral – a day that invites you outside, not indoors.

How the day develops

The morning already started pleasantly: shortly after sunrise temperatures were around 22.4 °C, warm enough for a café con leche on the terrace, cool enough to leave the windows open. Around midday the thermometer climbs to about 28.5 °C – a level at which you can still stroll comfortably through the old town without breaking a sweat. In the afternoon values drop slightly (around 25.9 °C), and the evening remains mild at approximately 24.2 °C. In short: perfect for being outdoors, not too hot, not too cool.

Feels-like temperature and wind

In direct sunshine it can feel locally a bit warmer – the feels-like temperature reaches up to 29.5 °C in some spots. But a light southwest breeze of around 3.3 m/s regularly provides relief. Gusts are weak; sailors and stand-up paddlers will not find dramatic winds, rather a pleasant aid for relaxed time on the water.

Air quality and overall atmosphere

The air is dry and clear, humidity is about 55 %, and air pressure around 1021 hPa. That creates a pleasant climate – no oppressive humidity, rather a light Mediterranean freshness. The city's soundscape: bicycle bells, the occasional calls of street vendors and the creak of swings on the promenade. A piece of typical Palma that feels particularly inviting today.

Concrete tips for the day

If you're not sure how to spend the day: have a relaxed breakfast on Passeig del Born, where waiters carry cups and croissants and the plane trees provide shade. Afterwards a walk to the Cathedral (La Seu) is worthwhile – the sun lights up the façade beautifully. For cycling fans the route along the beach promenade is a treat: the smell of the sea, swaying palms and repeated views of the azure water.

Beach lovers will find ideal conditions today: Playa de Palma and the city beach are pleasant, the water invites a cool dip. Please observe the designated swimming areas and the instructions of the lifeguards. If you prefer something quieter, take a short detour to Portixol or Cala Major – the atmosphere there is often even more relaxed than in the larger bays.

What to pack

Sunscreen remains essential – even if the day feels "mild", the sun is still strong. A light jacket for the evening is practical in case it gets a bit cooler during a sundowner at the beach bar. Don't forget drinking water: a glass at the beach or on the harbor wall often refreshes more than you expect.

Conclusion: A balanced, sunny September day in Palma – perfect for walks, terrace breakfasts and a few peaceful hours by the sea. I'm already longing for the sound of the evening guitar at the harbor and maybe you'll meet later with a glass of water in hand at the city beach. Enjoy the day!
