Palma Welcomes October 8 with Plenty of Sun and Mild Temperatures

An Almost Perfect Autumn Day in Palma

Anyone strolling this morning along Passeig del Born has surely noticed: Palma has dressed up nicely. The sky is almost cloudless, the cathedral casts sharp outlines against the blue, and the air feels pleasantly warm—just what you wish for in October.

Temperatures: pleasant, not too hot

The values range on October 8 in a very comfortable spectrum. Early in the morning the thermometers stood around 17 °C, during the day it climbed to around 24 °C. In the afternoon the warmth eases slightly, and the night remains mild at about 20 °C. For walks, a coffee on the Plaza or a short beach break, this is exactly right.

Wind, humidity and sun

A light breeze blows from the southwest (approximately 230°) with an average of just under 4 m/s. Isolated gusts are possible, pressure around 1020 hPa and humidity is moderate at about 59 %. The sun has clear skies – cloud cover is listed as nearly 0 %, rain chance zero. In short: ideal for spending the day outdoors.

What the island has to offer on this day

A small personal tip: around 4 p.m., when the light turns golden, the cafés at the edge of the harbor basin beckon. You see locals in a light jacket, tourists often still in a T-shirt — a scene you see here in autumn more often. If you feel like dipping briefly into the sea: water temperature is cooler than in summer, but in wind-protected coves a jump is still possible.

All in all, a day to catch your breath. If necessary, pack a light jacket, but don't leave the sun protection at home – the sun in Palma is still strong enough in October.
