Sunny day in Palma on August 10 – sea breeze and mild nights

On August 10 Palma shows its relaxed side: sunny, light southwest wind and mild nights. Ideal for the beach, a harbor stroll and a late ice cream on the Plaza Mayor.

Palma smiles on August 10

The morning in Palma felt like a deep breath: clear air, a few voices having breakfast on the Passeig del Born and the gentle lapping of fishing boats in the harbor. The sun was already warm in the sky, yet the city didn't seem rushed — more like it was allowing itself a leisurely summer day; read Perfect Beach Day in Palma: Sunshine, Sea Air and a Mild Evening Breeze.

Temperatures that invite you outdoors

In the morning temperatures were a pleasant 23 °C — just right for a coffee on the terrace, with the scent of freshly baked ensaimada in the air. At midday the thermometer climbed to around 31 °C, which for some means beach time, for others a search for shade under a pine or an awning. In the late afternoon about 29 °C are still expected, and the night remains mild at around 26 °C.

Wind, humidity, sun: ideal summer weather

The breeze came from the southwest at speeds around 4–5 m/s; now and then a stronger gust that blew salt onto the skin and tousled hair. Humidity is moderate at about 40–45%, cloud cover practically zero percent — rain plays no role today. With a stable air pressure above 1020 hPa the weather remains reliably calm. For reports with different wind directions see Palma in late summer: pleasant warmth, a few clouds and the northeast breeze.

Anyone heading to Portixol or Playa de Palma today will immediately feel the salty sea air; the calls of seagulls mix with faint engine noises from yachts along the Paseo Marítimo. In the narrow streets of the old town, away from the sea breeze, it gets warmer — but never so much that a shady spot wouldn't be welcome.

What Mallorcans and visitors plan today

Days like this are an invitation: boat tours, a walk by the cathedral with a view of the sparkling sea (see Palma Cathedral official website), or a late ice cream on the Plaza Mayor. It's worth staying flexible: explore the city in the morning, head to the beach at midday, and enjoy a glass in a tapas bar in the evening as the sun slowly sinks behind the rooftops.

A small tip from us: between 1 and 4 PM shade is worth its weight in gold. Pack sunscreen, don't forget a water bottle — the heat in direct sun should be respected. For outings with children or older people a shady spot or a boat trip is recommended, where the sea breeze provides pleasant cooling.

Why the day feels good — and what it means for Palma

Such stable summer days are more than just good weather: they bring people out to terraces and waterfront promenades, give cafes and small shops a welcome boost, and let the island breathe. For Mallorca this means economically calm, reliable days during the high season, and culturally a city that shows itself in good spirits.

So, if you have no plans yet today: put on your shoes, sunglasses on, and head to the sea or the old town. Palma presents itself friendly, loud and quiet at the same time — a perfect August day made for small escapes from everyday life.
