Summery Day in Santanyí: Warm, Cloudy and Perfect for Outdoors

A mild summer day in Santanyí

August 6 presents itself in southern Mallorca just as you imagine a good summer: warm, with some clouds in the sky, but without any rain trouble. Already in the morning the first church bells ring over the Plaça, the cicadas begin their concert, and the air is a pleasant 24°C – just right for a cozy coffee on the terrace of a small café or for a stroll through the winding old town alleys.

Temperatures: between terrace weather and midday warmth

During the day temperatures rise to up to 30°C. Not unusual for August, but certainly a moment when Mallorcans and visitors alike seek out shady spots. In the afternoon the thermometer relaxes slightly to around 28°C, and by evening it cools to about 25°C – ideal for a glass of wine outdoors while the lanterns are switched on and the voices from the bars grow quieter.

Weather data at a glance

Air pressure remains stable at around 1020 hPa, and humidity is moderate at about 45% — meaning: no oppressive muggy feeling. A fresh wind from the southeast blows at around 5 m/s, which brings a welcome refreshment especially on the coast. And the most important news: the probability of precipitation is practically zero. The clouds may look thicker at times, but they won’t bring rain today.

What to do today

This weather invites you to be outside. For beach fans, Cala Llombards or Cala Santanyí are good choices: clear water, a few fishing boats on the horizon, and the sound of the waves as natural background. Those who prefer to experience nature on foot will find easy walking paths in the surrounding fields and small hills — ideal in the cooler morning hours.

City strollers will enjoy the open boutiques and markets: the market stalls smell of oranges, almonds and freshly baked ensaimadas. A tip on the side: it gets noticeably warmer around midday, so pack enough water, don’t forget sunscreen and take occasional breaks in the shade — ideally at one of the plazas where you can watch local life.

Why the day does you good

A day like this is valuable for several reasons: it’s warm enough for the beach and outdoor conversations, but not so hot that activities become a strain. The light breeze provides pleasant cooling, and the stable weather makes spontaneous plans possible — from excursions to hidden coves to dinner under the open sky.

Conclusion: Santanyí offers exactly what many are looking for today — a relaxed summer day that draws you outside. Whether local or visitor, make the most of the hours, listen to the cicadas and treat yourself to a few quiet moments on the Plaça. This is Mallorcan summer with a mild character.
