Gentle Late Summer in Port d'Andratx: A Harbor Stroll in Mild Temperatures

Gentle late summer on the quayside of Port d'Andratx

When September 21st arrives like it does today, Port d'Andratx feels more like a cosy extension of summer than the harbinger of cooler days. No blazing sun, no sudden downpour — instead a soft blanket of clouds, the gentle lapping of waves and the comfort of being able to step out without a jacket. In the morning a few fishermen calmly sort their nets at the paseo, the scent of espresso mixes with salty air, and the first croissants are ready around 9:30 AM, as described in Late Summer in Port d'Andratx: Sun, Calm and a Warm Breeze. It feels familiar, almost like home.

Temperatures: steady and pleasant

The readings are unspectacular, and that's part of their charm: in the early hours temperatures are around 24.11 °C. During the day the thermometer barely rises, reaching a high of about 25.99 °C. In the evening it stays mild at roughly 25.36 °C. This isn't weather to make you sweat, but rather a climate made for a long harbour stroll or a late meal on the pier — with a glass of wine and the gentle rocking of boats in view, a scene much like Port d'Andratx in Late-Summer Glow: Clear, Mild and Perfect for Walks.

How it feels

Feels-like temperatures match the measurements: in the morning about 24.82 °C, during the day around 26.14 °C and in the afternoon roughly 26.42 °C. These figures say: sitting outside is no problem, sunscreen may not be urgent, but a light hand cream won't hurt when the wind glides over the water. The air is mild, not oppressive, and the clouds ensure the sun breaks through only in pleasant doses.

Air pressure, humidity and the sea breeze

Air pressure is steady at 1013 hPa and humidity hovers around 72% — neither dry nor muggy. Wind is light from the west at about 3.01 m/s with gusts up to 3.26 m/s (direction roughly 252°). Enough wind for little sailboats to creak softly on their lines and for pennants on the masts to flutter, but not enough to send plates tumbling off tables. A bit of sea noise, a few gull calls — the typical harbour soundtrack.

What Mallorcans and visitors should plan

Practically speaking: no umbrella, light clothing is enough. Linen trousers or jeans with a thin jumper for later in the evening — around 8:00 PM the air over the water can feel a touch cooler. Comfortable shoes are recommended; the cobbles on the quay are charming but not ankle-friendly. Restaurants and bars along the harbour are open; from about 9:30 PM the harbour lighting comes on, ideal for atmospheric photos. For photographers: warm light, little hustle and beautiful reflections in the water, a situation echoed in Mild September Afternoon in Port d'Andratx: Harbor Stroll Instead of a Rain Jacket.

Why this day feels so good

Days like this are a small economic boon for Port d'Andratx: cafés serve croissants at a relaxed pace, fishermen work calmly, and restaurants benefit from guests who prefer to linger rather than rush through town. It’s the weather for slowing down — for people who want to experience the sea without an adrenaline rush. A gentle breeze, a bit of cloud shade and the familiar sounds of the harbour: sometimes that's all you need.

So: pack a camera, bring a good mood and take a light jacket for later — Port d'Andratx is showing its relaxed side today. If you like, sit on the pier, watch the boats and let the day wind down slowly.
