Sóller Reports Fresh Autumn Start: Clouds, Wind and No Rain in Sight

Fresh Autumn Start in Sóller: Cloud Cover, but Dry

Today it feels in Sóller as if summer is slowly packing its bags — not dramatic, but rather gradual. Late in the morning a solid blanket of clouds hung over the harbor, the sun only peeked out briefly behind Far de Port. The locals on Passeig del Riu still drank their café con leche outside, with a light jacket.

What the thermometer says

The readings are pretty clear: In the morning the water temperature was about 21.19 °C, the day's high barely reached 28.9 °C. By midday around 26.02 °C are expected, and in the evening it cools again to about 23.18 °C. In short: swimming is possible, but evenings call for a light jacket.

How it feels

Those who are sensitive will notice the difference: The perceived temperatures start in the morning at about 21.58 °C, rise during the day to up to 29.11 °C and stay in the evening at a pleasant 23.83 °C. So: breezy by day, cozily fresh in the evenings.

Air pressure, humidity and wind

The air is relatively stable: The air pressure is around 1.020 hPa, the humidity about 52 %. Added to that is a mild west wind with an average of 1.78 m/s – occasional gusts reach up to 2.09 m/s. Enough to rustle the palms on Passeig a bit, but not enough to disrupt walks.

What you should plan for

No rain in sight — that's the good news. If you're considering a beach walk today or a detour to Serra de Tramuntana, go ahead. However, pack a light jacket for the evening; many street cafés already move their outdoor tables inside after 7 p.m.

If you shop locally: Market vendors at Mercat de Sóller report that the fruit stands continue to offer Mediterranean fruits that keep longer thanks to the cool nights. A neighbor said during a chat that there is finally air to breathe again — that’s how many feel today.

Short summary: Lots of clouds, no rain, mild days, cool evenings. A typical September day that slowly ushers us into autumn without fanfare.
