Sóller on October 4: Cloudy, mild and perfect day for outings

A day when you want to set the clock a little slower: Sóller welcomes October 4 under a soft cloud cover. No harsh light, no heat haze – instead subdued daylight that highlights the orange groves and their aromas and bathes the narrow lanes in a tranquil morning light. Those who have a bit of leisure take the Tram de Sóller to Port de Sóller or stroll through the markets without hurry, as we described in Cozy, Cloudy but Dry: Sóller on October 3, 2025.

Temperatures and daily progression

The morning starts at a pleasant 18.5 °C at eight o'clock – fresh enough for a thin jacket, warm enough to have breakfast outside. In the afternoon the thermometer climbs to around 26.2 °C, before falling back to about 23 °C around 16:00. The night remains mild at approximately 20.2 °C – ideal for a late walk along the harbor, when boats quietly clatter at their lines and the pier sparkles in the lamplight.

How it feels

The perceived temperature is close to the measured values: around 18.9 °C in the morning, rising to up to 25.8 °C during the day. Perfect for a jog in the lower folds of the Tramuntana or a relaxed café con leche on the Plaça. The cafés along the Carrer de sa Mar fill up; you hear murmurs in several languages, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and occasionally the hum of a moped gliding over the cobblestones.

Air, wind and cloud cover

The elements map shows stable conditions: air pressure around 1019 hPa, humidity about 49%. Light southwesterly wind (around 241°) at approximately 3.5 m/s with gusts up to about 3.4 m/s provides a gentle sea breeze without fuss. Cloud cover is pronounced – roughly 94% – which often gently filters the sun's rays. A big advantage: long walks outdoors without constant reapplication of sunscreen.

Chance of rain & outing tips

Rain? Almost impossible – the chance is close to 0%. So green light for the classics: a ride on the old tram to Port de Sóller, a morning wander through the market to sample local products or a short trip into the Puig sectors of the Serra de Tramuntana. Families will find calm conditions at the harbor; children collect shells along the promenade while gulls circle above the pier and fishermen sort their nets.

Why this weather is good for Sóller

Cloudy but mild – it's a breather for the island. Vegetation experiences less stress, the orange trees can develop their aromas more slowly, and on the terraces people sit relaxed instead of hurriedly claiming a sunny spot. Shopkeepers, restaurateurs and hikers alike benefit from the stable conditions, similar to Sóller on 8 October 2025: A mild autumn day to take a breather. You can hear the soft toll of church bells, the distant conversation of a boat skipper and the occasional squeak of the tram chugging through the valley.

A personal tip

Bring a thin jacket – not because rain is expected, but for the cool morning hours and the occasional breeze from the sea; see our late-September note, Sóller on 27 September 2025: mild, cloudy — a late-summer day for strolling. At midday, find a spot on the Plaça facing the Tramuntana: the subdued light makes the mountain silhouette particularly picturesque. And for those who want something very local: try a freshly pressed orange from a market stall. The flavors are intense and typically Sóller right now.

In short: Sóller on October 4 is not weather for big dramas, but for small pleasures. A day to breathe, stroll and discover – fully in the slow rhythm of the island.
