Cloudy, dry and mild: A relaxed day in Palma (6 September 2025)

Cloudy but friendly: Palma takes a break from the heat fuss

Early in the morning the clatter of the garbage trucks sounded less hectic, Passeig Mallorca felt almost slowed down: around 7:15 AM joggers ran in light jackets, tourists strolled with coffee cups, and a baker's loudspeakers played quiet boleros. A dense cloud cover (about 94%) hid the sun, but the afternoon promised no rain – meteorologists see a 0 percent chance of precipitation. In short: cloudy, dry, pleasant.

Temperatures: warm but not oppressive

The day's range runs from just under 22 °C in the coolest morning hours to about 30.6 °C in the warm afternoon. Specifically one could see about 23 °C at 7 AM, around 2 PM the thermometer climbed to about 30 °C, in the late afternoon values were around 27.8 °C, and at night it stays mild at about 24 °C. The felt maximum is around 30 °C; in the evening it feels pleasant at 24–25 °C – perfect for a drink at the harbor or a relaxed evening walk.

Tip: A light sweater in the morning, don't forget sunscreen at midday. UV radiation can still be strong despite the clouds.

Wind, humidity and everyday scenes

The wind blows from the southeast (about 133°) at a moderate 5 m/s, occasionally gusting to 6 m/s. This creates a light breeze by the sea and small waves — enough for fishermen in Portixol to check their nets in the morning and to hear the soft scrape of oars. Humidity is around 42%, pressure at 1018 hPa. Together these values explain why the air feels warm but not oppressive.

On Carrer de Sant Miquel café owners said the weather was "perfect for guests": neither too hot for outdoor coffee nor too cool for a midday meal on the terrace. Locals still recommend carrying a thin jacket — especially for the early hours when the street cafés are still dusting off their tables and the first pigeons circle over the plane trees.

What this means for the day

For city outings this is an invitation: market visits, a stroll through El Born or a detour to the cathedral late in the evening work without weather stress. Short stays at the beach are also possible — the water is pleasant, the surf a little livelier than on windless days. Those planning a boat trip should consider the light to moderate breeze; for sailors it is more a friendly wind than a nuisance.

In short: Palma stays dry, temperatures are mild to warm, and the air feels fresh enough to enjoy the day outdoors. Whether a bike ride by the sea, a market run or a late ice cream in the old town – today is a good day for it.

The outlook for the week shows: changes are possible, especially towards the weekend. But for today: open the windows, let the sea air in and plan the day without an umbrella. And if you stroll to the cathedral in the evening you might hear the bells over Palma's roofs – a quiet Mallorcan finale to a pleasantly breezy day.
