Soller Breathes Summer: August 8 with Sun, Sea and the Scent of Oranges

Soller Breathes Summer: A Whole Day Under the Sign of the Sun

On August 8 Soller shows its sunny side, as noted in Sóller welcomes August with mild summer weather. Already in the morning a faint scent of oranges and coffee hangs in the air, while the bells of the church of Sant Bartomeu strike their calm rhythm. With around 24 °C the streets start the day – pleasantly fresh for an early walk across the Plaça Constitució or a round through the market hall.

Temperatures: clear and uncomplicated

The thermometer climbs during the day to a maximum of 34 °C. Those who feel the heat can cool off at Port de Soller or in one of the private pools behind the shaded facades. In the afternoon it slowly eases, and the night brings with about 26 °C a warm but not oppressive calm. Dinner on a terrace feels like a secret Mediterranean luxury.

How the weather really feels

The perceived temperature largely corresponds to the measured values: in the morning the air still feels a bit cooler, during the day it is simply warm. The low humidity makes the heat more bearable – no tropical sweating, more the classic Mallorcan summer feeling: sun on the skin, cicadas chirping and the distant sound of the old tram.

Air pressure, wind and rain: stability and a light breeze

With an air pressure of around 1019 hPa the weather stays stable. Humidity is about 34 %, and a gentle northwest wind of around 2 m/s provides pleasant cooling – enough for the palm leaves to rustle softly, but not strong enough to blow umbrellas into the sea. Chance of rain? Practically zero. A dry, reliable summer day.

What the day means in Soller

Such a day is an invitation: the shopping street fills with locals and visitors, vendors quietly call out their offers, and the market displays plump tomatoes and fragrant figs. The historic Tren de Soller and the tram to the harbor creak along comfortably – a small acoustic time travel that recalls Sunday outings, as described in Sóller on August 23: Sunny, Mild and Perfect for Beach and Tram Moments.

Activities: From beach to Serra

For water lovers, a plunge into the sea at Port de Soller is the best choice. Those who prefer to stay on land will find shady paths among the orange groves or more demanding trails in the Barranc de Biniaraix and the Serra de Tramuntana, a topic covered in Sóller in high summer: Sunny days, sea breeze and a touch of orange blossom. Up on the heights it is often only a degree cooler – enough for a relaxed hike with views of the rugged coastline.

Tips for the day

Breakfast outside, don’t forget sunscreen and always carry a bottle of water – these are the small rules for a successful summer day. At lunchtime it’s worth slipping into a small shady restaurant; in the evening tapas and a glass of local white wine are enticing, while the air smells of warm stone and Mediterranean herbs.

In summary: August 8 brings clear, dry summer weather to Soller with a pleasant breeze – ideal for the beach, city strolls or mountain tours. A day to breathe deeply: orange tree scent on the left, the sea on the right, and the tram whistles softly by.
