Sóller on 10 August 2025: A Classic Mallorcan Summer

Sóller on 10 August: Sun, orange blossom scent and sea air

The day begins here in Sóller unspectacularly beautiful: shortly after seven the first early risers are already sitting with a café con leche on the Plaça de sa Constitució, the church bells are still tinkling and the air feels mild — just under 23 °C. The sun pushes forward quickly, street cafés fill up, and the seagulls in the harbour watch on as if they belonged on the breakfast menu.

How the day develops

By early afternoon the thermometer climbs to around 32.5–33 °C. Nevertheless it is not an oppressive heat day as can happen in high summer: a light northwesterly breeze (from the Tramuntana, around 280–285°) provides ventilation, the heat feels bearable and the air remains relatively dry. During the day the beach and harbour promenade are the places where life pulses — those looking for shade usually find it only behind the cafés or under the few plane trees at Port de Sóller.

In the late afternoon values fall again toward 30 °C, and around 11 pm it remains mild at about 25.7 °C — precisely the temperature at which an evening stroll or a glass of wine on the Plaça feels just right.

Feels-like temperatures, wind and visibility

The perceived temperature follows the measurements: in the morning about 23.1 °C, at noon around 32.3 °C, in the evening it eases to about 25.9 °C. Humidity is at a moderate ~35 %, pressure at just under 1021 hPa. With wind speeds around 2–2.3 m/s only a gentle breeze blows — gusts are hardly an issue. Rain? Almost out of the question: the chance of rain is 0 % and the sky remains virtually cloudless, so that the peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana are razor-sharp during the day.

Local tips: Day plan for locals and visitors

A small plan for sun-hungry visitors and connoisseurs: breakfast early on the Plaça while there is still shade and quiet. Between 11 am and 3 pm is the best time for a siesta, a jump into the sea or a quiet break under the orange trees — shade spots at the harbour are scarce, so better reserve or arrive early. Photographers should not miss the golden hour around 8:15 pm: the soft light casts a warm glow over the water and the mountains.

For those who want to stay active: easy hikes above the orange groves work well, as long as the route does not run in the baking sun. For a small excursion the evening drive to Sa Calobra is recommended — the road is winding, but in this weather the cove offers a great cool-down and calm air after a warm day.

Why this day is typically Mallorcan

On this 10 August Sóller gives what many are looking for here: warmth without suffocation, clear air and the mix of mountains, orange blossom scent and sea. You can hear the chirping of cicadas in the alleys, the light lapping of waves at the Port and now and then the clink of a coffee cup — simple sounds that together mean summer.

One last pragmatic tip: don't forget sunscreen and a water bottle, shade is limited and cafés fill up by early afternoon at the latest. Those who split the day sensibly — get up early, take a siesta, go for an evening walk — experience Sóller at its most relaxed.

In short: 10 August 2025 brings a classic Mallorcan summer: warm, dry, friendly. Pack your sunglasses, stay hydrated — and enjoy the evening on the Plaça or at the harbour when the lights come on and temperatures become pleasant.
