Sóller on October 6, 2025: Drizzle in the Morning, Mild Hours in the Afternoon

Sóller on October 6, 2025 – Drizzle at Dawn, Mild Hours in the Afternoon

The day in Sóller begins with a fine drizzle around 07:30. The asphalt steams, the cobblestones gleam, and the scent of wet stone mixes with orange blossoms — a smell that immediately brings to mind the narrow lanes and the orchards around the valley. On the Plaça the cafés fill up slowly; the clinking of cups, quiet conversations and the occasional rattle of the little tram to Port briefly overpower the distant whistling. Not a storm, more an invitation to tuck an umbrella into your bag and take the morning at an easy pace; similar light drizzle is described in Sóller on October 14: Light drizzle, mild air and shiny pavements.

Temperatures and how they feel

The official values are in the mild range: a low of 15.01 °C and a daily maximum around 21.56 °C. At noon we can expect about 21.22 °C, in the afternoon the thermometer drops to around 19.07 °C and at night it shows about 17.18 °C. For perceived temperatures: it feels like 17.26 °C in the morning, about 20.94 °C in the brightest daylight, around 18.81 °C in the afternoon and 17.02 °C at night. Conclusion: a light jacket in the morning is practical, at midday a sweater is often sufficient — perfect for a stroll along the Passeig without breaking a sweat.

Pressure, humidity and wind

Air pressure remains stable at around 1025 hPa. With a relative humidity of about 59 % the air is fresh but not muggy. A gentle northwest wind (around 300°) blows at about 2.76 m/s, gusts up to 3.13 m/s are possible. About 41 % of the sky is cloudy; we estimate the chance of rain at just under 47 %. In short: changeable — isolated showers are possible, but longer dry stretches are more likely.

Why a day like this feels good

These early autumn days have their own charm on the island. Short showers wash dust from leaves and streets, the light softens, colors become richer — the oranges look juicier, the leaves fresher. For market vendors at the Sunday market a rainy morning might not be ideal, yet the few visitors who stay despite the drizzle especially enjoy a hot bowl of cacao or a still-warm ensaimada on the Plaça. The Passeig is particularly pleasant today: muted footsteps, birds singing among the palms, the distant chime of the tram and the café awnings under which you can sit with a blanket and a coffee and watch the valley move at a gentler pace.

Tips for the day

A few practical hints make the day more relaxed: a light waterproof jacket and sturdy shoes are useful — the cobblestones can become slippery. A folding umbrella fits in any bag and hardly spoils a photo stop: photo ideas include wet paving, reflecting puddles and shiny orange leaves. If you want to take the little tram to Port de Sóller, you’ll often have better chances of dry stretches in the afternoon; early in the morning the tram can look especially atmospheric when fog still lingers in the mountains, as also noted on Sóller on 8 October 2025: A mild autumn day to take a breather.

Highly recommended: a visit to the market in the late morning — the stalls are then open, the first raindrops are often gone, and you can still pick up a fresh ensaimada or homemade cacao. Photographers should look for reflections in puddles or use the bright oranges as splashes of color against a grey sky. And if the drizzle returns: simply find a café awning, order an espresso and watch the Plaça — often the best view here.

All in all a typical autumn day in Sóller: fresh in the morning, pleasant to mild in the afternoon. No reason for big plans — rather slow walking, stopping now and then and breathing in the scent of orange blossom. That is the nicest way to experience Sóller today; this pattern—short showers and mild temperatures—echoes other autumn updates such as Sóller in the Drizzle: A Mild, Wet Autumn Day (12 Oct 2025).
