Summer Idyll in Cala Rajada: Blue Skies and Warm Nights on August 18

Hot sun, mild nights: Cala Rajada on August 18, 2025

The Paseo Marítimo breathes summer: the soft sound of waves, the clink of ice cream cups at midday and voices from the beach bars mixing with the scent of sunscreen. On August 18, Cala Rajada appears with hardly any clouds — a day when flip-flops prevail and heavy jackets stay in the wardrobe. This continuity is similar to earlier days such as Gentle Summer Day in Cala Rajada: August 7, 2025.

Concrete figures

The measurements show very steady warmth: in the morning the thermometer was around 27.3 °C, during the day it climbed to about 28.8 °C and the afternoon brought the daily high at just under 29.1 °C. The night also remains mild at about 27.5 °C, with the observed range moving between a minimum of 26.9 °C and a maximum of 29.5 °C.

How it really feels

The humidity (around 62 %) and a light east wind make the felt temperature higher than the raw measurements: in the morning it feels like about 28.8 °C, during the day just under 31.0 °C, and in the afternoon around 31.5 °C. Those sensitive to heat will notice it clearly — shady spots are in demand and water bottles disappear quickly into backpacks. Air pressure is around 1012 hPa, rain is not an issue (chance of precipitation: 0 %), and only a few veil clouds (about 4 % cloud cover) drift across the sky.

On site: What the day brings

For locals and holidaymakers alike this means: swimsuit out, towel on the sand — but plan smartly. If you stroll along the Paseo around 11 am, you’ll see the first sun hats, families with coolers and the ice cream parlors portioning scoops on a loop (yes, they’re running "hot"), a scene much like Cala Rajada feels late-summer: sun, sea and mild evenings.

The light east wind of around 5 m/s brings fresh air but doesn’t cool dramatically; gusts remain moderate.

Cala Agulla is especially worth a visit in the late morning, before the sun reaches its strongest point, as seen in Cala Rajada: Clear Sky and Mild Late Summer on August 31. For a relaxed swim, the early or late hours are recommended: the morning brings smooth water and quiet promenades, while the evening offers mild temperatures and golden light that softens the rocks.

Practical tips and a brief outlook

A few simple rules are enough to enjoy the day carefree: apply sunscreen (no, once in the morning is not enough), drink regularly and take breaks in the shade. A cold gazpacho or a soft drink in a beach bar works wonders — accompanied by the distant sound of a boat engine or the laughter of children in the water. Light jackets are unnecessary today; the nights are warm enough for a walk by the sea.

Conclusion: On August 18 Cala Rajada gives the full summer package: clear skies, warm water and that Mallorcan cosiness that even makes the ice cream parlors a little proud. If you’re out and about today, enjoy the sun, the sea and the small everyday music of the coast — with a hat, a bottle of water and a smile for the beach vendors.
