Late Summer in Palma: Light Clouds and Warm Air on 21 September 2025

A relaxed late-summer day in Palma: alternating sunshine, almost no rain and temperatures close to 28 °C — ideal for an espresso in Santa Catalina or a stroll along the Paseo Marítimo.

Palma shows a late-summer mood: a day to take a breather

Good morning from Palma — today the weather remains pleasant, without much drama. The sky on 21 September 2025 is moderately cloudy, the sun breaks through the veil clouds from time to time, and rain is practically excluded. Perfect for a leisurely wander through the old town, an espresso on the Plaça del Mercat or a quiet bit of beach time at Portixol neighbourhood.

Temperatures: warm but not oppressive

The day starts mild in the morning at about 21–22 °C. During the day values rise to just under 28 degrees — the maximum is around 27.8 °C. Late afternoon remains warm, at roughly 25–26 °C, and the night hardly cools down: about 24.5 °C are expected. People moving around the city may feel locally almost 29 °C in the afternoon due to stored heat from asphalt and buildings.

How the day feels

Without a thermometer it feels pleasantly warm, more like a late-summer day when you gladly sit outside. Cups clink on the Plaça del Mercat, the seagulls cry at regular intervals, and the warm stones on the facades give off a cozy residual warmth. Light jackets make sense in the morning, and in the afternoon a T-shirt is usually enough.

Air pressure, humidity and wind

Air pressure is around 1013 hPa, humidity about 60%. A light to moderate southwest wind blows at about 3.3 m/s from roughly 216°, gusts reach just over 4 m/s. That's refreshing but not a storm — the beach umbrella can stay put, and sailboats will appreciate the gentle movement on the water.

Cloud cover and precipitation

With around 40% cloud cover the sky stays partly blue, partly mottled. The forecast expects nearly 0% chance of precipitation according to AEMET forecast for Palma — umbrellas can remain in the hotel room. A typical late-summer day many Mallorcans value: enough sun, but not too hot.

Practical tips for everyday life

- In the morning on the promenade (Paseo Marítimo, Portixol) a light jacket can be pleasant when the wind comes from the sea.

- At midday a T-shirt or short-sleeved shirt is enough; shaded spots in cafés are recommended when the sun comes through.

- Sitting outside in the evening? A thin layer is usually sufficient — the city stays mild.

- For boaters and sailors: calm sea, light southwest wind, ideal conditions for relaxed trips.

In short: today Palma shows how beautiful the transition from summer to autumn can be — warm, relaxed and with enough clouds to pleasantly break the direct sun. Whether you drink an espresso in Santa Catalina neighbourhood or choose a walk along the coast, you'll likely enjoy the day like the plane tree leaves that still store a bit of sun.
