Palma on October 5: gray, mild, and perfect for a long coffee

A quiet early autumn day in Palma

Today, on October 5, Palma shows itself from its calm, almost languid side. The sky is mostly overcast, the sea glitters faintly under a blanket of gray tones. Not a drop of rain in sight – the chance of precipitation is 0% – so no reason to carry an umbrella.

Temperatures: mild, but unmistakably autumnal

Daily temperatures move in a pleasant range: in the early morning they were just above 16 °C, around noon about 21 °C were measured. In the morning and early afternoon it feels almost warm; in the evening the temperature drifts again toward 16 °C. In short: a jacket for the morning, an open shirt at noon, a scarf for the walk after sunset.

Feels-like values, air and wind

The felt temperatures follow the same pattern: in the morning still fresh at about 20 °C, in the afternoon a calm, cozy feel around 19 °C, and at night significantly cooler. The air is relatively dry at about 57%, so the chill doesn't sit heavily on the throat.

Air pressure is about 1022 hPa – steady and unremarkable. The wind blows from the northeast at about 7.4 m/s (moderate) with gusts up to nearly 9.6 m/s. Anyone walking today toward Portixol or along the Passeig des Born will feel it as a fresh breeze, not a storm.

Clouds, activities, tips

With cloud cover of around 90%, the sun often hides. Still, the weather is excellent for slow activities: a longer breakfast at a plaza cafe, a stroll through the old town, or a walk along the promenade. The waves are calm enough for short beach strolls, but not for swimming for the brave – the water has cooled down already.

For commuters and excursionists: light rain gear can stay at home, but a light jacket belongs in every pocket. In the evening it gets noticeably cooler – at 19:30 on the Passeig, a cup of hot coffee is really a nice idea.

All in all: an unpretentious, typically Mallorcan early autumn day. Not spectacular, but very cozy. Perfect to ease into the day slowly.
