Port d'Andratx — A mild end to summer on 31 August 2025

A day when the boat stays still but the feet don't

It was one of those mornings when the pier is still half-asleep: the scent of freshly brewed coffee mixed with salty sea air, sails appeared as golden streaks on the water, and the seagulls made quiet comments. Puerto de Andratx: día soleado y agradable el 31 de agosto de 2025 welcomed 31 August 2025 with an almost cloudless sky and a mild breeze that pleasantly ran through your hair. For those who need sand under their soles, it was a day to leave the boat at anchor and instead stroll along the promenade.

Temperatures at a glance

Morning: Around 25 °C — cool enough to fling the windows open, but warm enough for a first coffee outdoors. Midday: The small fish stalls fill up; queues form at a comfortable 27 °C, no heat stress, only the rising smell of fried fish. Evening: A slight cool-down to about 26 °C – ideal for a relaxed dinner on the Passeig, with a view of moored boats and the lights rocking in the harbour.

How the weather feels

The measured values are slightly outshone by the sun: when it hits the bright facades of the harbour houses unobstructed, the temperature feels a touch warmer. At the same time, a steady southeast wind with gusts around 9–10 m/s means you might put a jacket on and off from time to time. Shady spots under the plane trees are particularly popular today; there the Friday guitarist sits a little longer while the fishermen sort their nets.

Air pressure is stable at around 1013 hPa (what air pressure numbers mean), humidity hovers between 60 and 70 %. In plain terms: no oppressive muggy heat, no aching joints, just pleasant breathing. Perfect for a stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) basics, a short bike ride along the coast or a long walk along the pier.

Practical tips for the evening

If you stroll along the Passeig this evening, you have a good chance of finding free tables — a luxury one would wish for in high summer. Children are still playing, voices mix with the clink of mooring lines, and the fishermen are finishing up the day. Pack sunscreen if you plan to sit in the sun for a while; you can safely leave the umbrella at home. If you want a quieter view of the sea, sit on the pier, listen to the gentle lapping and watch the lights come up.

For night owls: Temperatures are mild enough to stay outside. A light sweater is enough, and if you like, you might discover a hidden spot with live music on your evening walk — typical Port d'Andratx: nothing flashy, but cosy and genuine.

In short: sunshine, mild warmth and a gentle breeze — the recipe for a relaxed close to August. Summer says goodbye here without fanfare, more with a contented sigh, as seen later in Port d'Andratx a fines de verano: horas de sol y brisa suave – 19 de septiembre de 2025. Perfect for one last walk, a slow dinner and consciously enjoying the small harbour moments.
