Santanyí in a Mild Autumn: Sun, Plaça and 17–24°C Delight

Santanyí shows its mild side

If you walk across the Plaça of Santanyí this morning, the first thing you notice is the familiar murmur of voices from the weekly market, the clatter of wooden chairs and, every now and then, a distant church bell. The sun hangs kindly over the old stone houses – not harsh, rather flattering. Thermometers swing within a pleasant range: around 17°C in the morning, rising during the day to about 23–24°C. Exactly what you expect from a good autumn day like our Golden Autumn: A Mild October Day in Santanyi.

How the day feels

The morning brings a fresh breeze through your hair; a light jacket is perfectly sufficient. Around 10 a.m. temperatures climb to just under 19°C, at lunchtime it's a comfortable 23–24°C – warm enough for a coffee on the Plaça without sweating, cool enough to enjoy fresh air again after an hour in the shade of the plane trees. In the late afternoon the thermometer only drops slightly and stays around 21°C; at the harbor it's still a mild 20°C in the evening. In short: leave the scarf at home, pack your sunglasses.

Air, wind and weather details

Air pressure remains steady at about 1020 hPa, humidity is moderate at roughly 55–60%. A light southerly breeze (around 180–200°) stirs the palms and carries the scent of freshly baked ensaimada through the alleys. With gusts of about 3–4 m/s everything stays put – parasols don't wobble, tables stay in place. And good news for those who dislike umbrellas: 0% chance of precipitation, as in Weather in Santanyi on October 4, 2025: Grey over the village, but pleasantly warm. If you want to get wet today you'll need a seven-day misadventure to make it happen.

What this means for your plans

Whether it's the weekly market, a café visit or a short coastal walk – the day is suited for all. The market on Carrer Major invites browsing: local olives, honey and ceramics, while locals take a little break under the plane trees. For hobby photographers there's clear light in the morning and soft, golden light late in the afternoon – ideal for portraits, street shots or the old stone walls around Santanyí, a scene also noted in Weather in Santanyí on October 10, 2025: Mild, windy and ideal for a coffee on the Plaça.

Such days also matter to the local economy: market sellers like to set up calmly, cafés see more smiling faces on the terraces, and fishermen at the harbor might quickly clean their nets before the evening sale. The island lives on these transitional days – they are often friendlier than high summer, and the town visibly breathes easier.

A small local tip: when the sun is high at midday, the best shade is under the plane trees along the Plaça or beneath the arcades. A glass of cava or a cortado on a bench overlooking the market makes the day perfect. And yes, sunglasses today are not a fashion statement but protection.

We will keep an eye on developments and let you know if the weather changes. Until then: get out of the house and into the pleasant autumn light – Santanyí has exactly the balance one hopes for in October.
