Sóller on 8 October 2025: A mild autumn day to take a breather

Sóller offers a mild autumn day

If you stroll through the lanes of Sóller on the morning of 8 October, you notice at once: autumn is friendly. The sky remains mostly cloudless, the sun warms enough to take off your jacket for a while. It smells of oranges and the sea, a church bell rings somewhere, and the tram clatters leisurely toward Port de Sóller — a day to set off without a big plan.

How the thermometer behaves

Daytime temperatures start cool at around 16–17 °C in the morning. Anyone sitting on the Plaça at 9 a.m. experiences a clear, crisp air with sun already — perfect for an outdoor coffee. Around midday the thermometer climbs to about 24 °C (briefly measured up to 24.2 °C). In the afternoon values drop to just above 21 °C, and the night brings mild 19 °C. In short: light layers that are easy to put on and take off.

Feels-like temperature, humidity and pressure

The felt temperatures are close to the measured values — about 16.6 °C in the morning, pleasantly near 24 °C during the day. With around 54% humidity the air is neither oppressive nor too dry; the bronchi will thank you. Air pressure is about 1020 hPa, a sign of stable conditions — no weather change in sight.

Wind, chance of rain and the sea

Light gusts come from the northwest, around 299°, with peaks near 2.1 m/s. That's at most a gentle breeze that makes hair dance and enhances the scent of the oranges. There is a 0% chance of rain — you can safely leave your umbrella at home. In the harbor of Port de Sóller the waves lap quietly against the pier; the sea remains calm and deep blue.

Why you should go out today

Days like this are balm for island routine. Farmers sort the last olives, market vendors call to their customers, and the oranges hang juicy on the trees. Walks through the orange groves in the hills cast warm shadows and offer photo opportunities without tourist crowds. On the Plaça you can drink a coffee at the pastry shop and listen with an open ear to locals chatting — say "bona tarda" and order a freshly squeezed orange. Small gestures, great pleasure.

Practical tips for the day

Pack a light jacket you can comfortably tie around your waist at midday. For the morning hours closed shoes are recommended for the stony lanes; a sun hat or light head covering won't hurt. If you want to take photos: the best motifs are in the small side streets, at the market and along the promenade in Port de Sóller, where the afternoon light is especially soft.

In short: a day to take a breather, for a walk in the orange groves, a coffee on the Plaça or a quiet moment by the sea. Sóller shows its reconciliatory autumn side — warm, calm and with enough sun to lift the spirits.
