Summer Day in Cala Millor: Sun, Light Breeze and Warm Nights on August 16

A textbook summer day

Anyone who was walking along the Cala Millor promenade early this morning, as described in Cala Millor on August 18: A classic summer day — sun, sea and light breeze, could almost smell the typical morning ritual: wet wood from the jetty, an espresso from the corner café, the cries of seagulls hanging over the sea. The sky is almost cloudless, the sun shines clearly — and the bay delivers exactly what holidaymakers and locals love in peak season: warmth, light and a friendly breeze.

How the day feels

The measurements say: in the morning 26.1 °C, during the day up to 31.3 °C and still a pleasant 26.9 °C at night. The perceived temperature climbs to around 32.1 °C during the hottest phase, and in the afternoon it's about 31.6 °C. In practical terms that means: a T-shirt is enough in the morning, sunglasses are a must, and no one needs a jacket in the evening — perfect for long walks on the promenade or dinner outdoors, much like the conditions reported in Sunny Day in Cala Millor: Perfect Beach Weather on August 1.

Wind, air and the sound of the sea

The wind blows from the southwest (around 255°) at about 4.5 m/s, with occasional gusts up to 7.2 m/s. Enough to keep sun umbrellas from wandering off, but not enough to blow beach towels into the sea. Humidity is moderate at around 45 %, and atmospheric pressure is about 1016 hPa. Together this creates a pleasant Mediterranean air that smells of salt and pine — and of the first freshly tapped radler around noon.

What locals and visitors are planning

Surfers and kitesurfers appreciate the steady breeze, families enjoy predictable water and calm bathing conditions; children build sandcastles within sight of the lifeguards while the older gentlemen of the town start their card games on the benches along the promenade. On Calle del Mar the restaurants slowly fill their tables, guitars and voices mingle with the sound of the waves, as highlighted in Cala Millor in the Sunshine: A Perfect Summer Day at the Beach.

Practical tips for the day

The most important things: don't forget sun protection, pack enough water and start early for shorter excursions with the little ones. A short hike to the Torre de Canyamel is doable today — ideal in the cooler morning hours. For a relaxed evening, grab a seat on a terrace: dining outdoors is possible without a jacket, and those who arrive early will still find a quieter spot with a sea view, as noted in Cala Millor: Summer Warmth and Mild Nights – Perfect for Beach Days and Evening Strolls.

In short: A classic Mallorcan summer day — warm, sunny, with a welcome pinch of wind. So: swimwear, sunscreen, an ice cream for later. And anyone strolling along the promenade this evening may hear the soft clatter of plates and cutlery, voices from the restaurants and the soothing, ever-present sound of the Mediterranean. Let's enjoy it — summer is still here.
