Palma on September 25: Light cloud cover, no rain

Cloud cover over Palma — a calm, pleasant day

On September 25 Palma is under a friendly but steady Mild Late-Summer Day in Palma: Clouds, Light Wind and No Rain in Sight. No thunderstorms, no steady rain; rather that cozy gray that lets the city breathe a little slower. At 9 a.m. on Passeig des Born you could hear the seagulls over the harbor, the clinking of café cups and the kiosk owner laughingly calling out to me: 'No sun, but better for the croissant.' Such small scenes are part of everyday life here and show: Mallorca can also have its quiet, unexciting days.

Temperatures: Jacket in the morning, T-shirt at noon

The readings are unremarkable but pleasant. The day began around 16.5 °C, at midday the thermometer climbed to about 23 °C, in the afternoon values stayed around 22 °C and at night they drop hardly below 19 °C. In short: a light sweater in the morning, a T-shirt at midday — perfect for an extended city stroll without sweating.

How the weather feels

The perceived temperature follows the measurable: fresh in the morning, mild during the day. It is not oppressive late-summer weather, rather a transition day in which the climate has recovered, similar to Late Summer in Palma: Light Clouds and Warm Air on 21 September 2025. The wind blows lightly from the east at about 2.7 m/s, gusts reach about 4.2 m/s (roughly 88°). A light breeze over the harbour intensifies the scent of sea and coffee beans — one reason why so many Mallorcans and visitors prefer the street cafés today.

Values without alarm

Air pressure is stable at about 1019 hPa, humidity hovers around 41% (see AEMET Palma forecast). For the city that means: clear conditions, no unusual strains for allergy sufferers, and the streets remain dry. For the urban infrastructure these are the days when even the drainage gutters can breathe a sigh of relief.

Those out and about today can still find free tables in Santa Catalina's cafés or at Plaça Major. A special tip for early risers: the little stall at Plaça Major still serves warm cups at 10 a.m. — the calm there is almost eerily soothing, as the clouds dampen the sounds.

What this means for everyday life

For residents and service providers that means: leisurely tourism, easier driving through the city and pleasant conditions for craftsmen and market traders. The stalls at Santa Catalina market don't become overcrowded, but the selection is good — perfect for people who want to shop without the crowds, as described in Moderate and pleasant: Palma on September 20 with clouds and summer warmth. Also ideal for walks along Passeig Marítim or a short detour to Portixol, as shown in Palma on August 23: Pleasant Late-Summer Day with Sea Breeze.

In short: An unexciting, relaxed day in Palma. No weather extremes, moderate temperatures and a light easterly breeze that keeps everything fresh. Anyone heading to the beach later should bring a thin jacket for the trip home — because the temperature drops only slowly in the evening.

Stay dry and enjoy the quiet rhythm of these late September days. The city has time to breathe today — and so do we.
