Sóller on October 14: Light drizzle, mild air and shiny pavements

Light drizzle, mild air and shiny pavements: Sóller takes the day leisurely

On October 14 Sóller is greeted by a thick cloud cover. Not dramatic weather, but that fine, persistent drizzle that darkens the cobblestones of the Plaça Constitució and carries the scent of wet stone and coffee through the alleys. Anyone using the historic Tren or the small tram toward Port de Sóller today should have a light rain cover — not because a storm threatens, but because the island today shows its calm, humid breath.

Expected temperatures

In the morning the lowest temperature is about 17.9 °C. During the day the thermometer rises to around 24.6 °C, the afternoon stays at a pleasant 21 °C. At night values hover near 19 °C. In short: no jacket required, more an invitation to bring a light cardigan and occasionally pause when the drizzle coolly touches your shoulders.

How it feels

Thermally it feels like about 18 °C in the morning, about 24 °C during the day. The humid air settles lightly on shirt and skin — not unpleasant, rather that "snug" feeling known from cozy autumn days. The Tren's bell sounds somewhat muffled, the gulls over the harbor seem calmer, and more locals sit at the cafés than sunseekers.

Pressure, humidity and wind

The atmospheric pressure is around 1018 hPa, the relative humidity is about 56 %. A weak northeast wind blows at around 2.5 m/s and causes at most small gusts that gently sway the olive branches in the Serra de Tramuntana. It is the typical "drizzle wind" that brings more coziness than trouble.

What this means for the day

The conditions are good for a relaxed walk in the old town or a short trip to Port de Sóller. The promenade can be wonderfully strolled along in light drizzle, and the harbor bars offer a perfect spot to watch the rain with a café con leche. Hikes at higher elevations in the Tramuntana should be shorter today: paths can become slippery and fog in the mountains is never far.

Practical tips: light water-repellent clothing and slip-resistant shoes are better companions today than open sandals. The tram runs as scheduled, but be careful on the wet steps. At the markets you'll see colorful umbrellas and yellow parkas rather than sun-tanned days.

And for those who don't like being out in drizzle: there are plenty of bad-weather spots — small cafés with street-facing windows, the patisseries at the Plaça and the bookshops where you can listen to the drops. Sóller shows its quiet side today: no thunder, no storm, just a day to slow down.

Keep an eye on the local forecast — on Mallorca the weather can change within hours. For Sóller today this means above all: walk leisurely through the drizzle and experience the island at a different, quieter pace.
