Santanyí on August 5: Sun, mild breeze and perfect summer weather

Santanyí is showing its best side today: clear sun, a mild southerly breeze, temperatures from 23 to 29 °C and only a few clouds. Ideal for the beach, the market, or a siesta under olive trees.

Summer morning in Santanyí: the island breathes a sigh of relief

Tuesday morning in Santanyí begins with a deep blue sky and the familiar buzz of cicadas. At 8 a.m. the thermometer shows a pleasant 23 °C — just right for a walk through the weekly market or a turn through the quiet lanes to the Plaça Major. The air smells of the sea, freshly brewed coffee and a touch of spices from the market stalls.

Temperatures and how they feel

During the day the thermometer climbs to just under 29 °C, stays stable at around 28 °C in the afternoon and drops to a mild 25 °C at night. By Mallorca standards this is a “good summer” day: warm but without oppressive heat. Thanks to slight humidity and a constant southerly breeze, conditions generally feel much as the thermometer indicates — no nasty surprises for visitors sensitive to heat.

Wind, pressure and visibility

The atmospheric pressure is around 1021 hPa, a sign of stable, sunny weather. The wind comes from the south at about 4 m/s, creating a pleasant movement in the trees; the olive leaves make a soft rustling sound, and small waves roll into the coves by the sea. With only about 10% cloud cover, the view remains unobstructed to a rich azure blue.

How to make the most of the day

Days like this offer many options: a morning at Cala Llombards or in Mondragó Natural Park is particularly appealing now — the coves are not yet crowded and the water sparkles invitingly. Those who prefer a quieter time can sit on a terrace, listen to cutlery clinking and the murmurs of locals, and order a ración of seafood. In the late afternoon, shaded spots under the old olive trees invite a siesta or a leisurely stroll.

Practical tips

Even though the breeze may feel refreshing, UV radiation is strong. Sunscreen is essential, especially between 12 and 16. A hat, plenty of water and a short pause in the shade will help you enjoy this sunny day for longer. For active visitors: the sea temperature is inviting enough for stand-up paddling or a quick swim.

A little outlook

Anyone strolling through Santanyí today will hear church bells, children’s laughter and occasionally the distant engine of a fishing boat heading for the next cove. Days like this remind you why many people like to stay longer here: life slows down, colors become more vivid, and even the air seems more content.

Make the most of the day — swim, browse or simply peel an orange somewhere in the shade and watch the sea. Santanyí has everything that makes a perfect summer day.
