Alcúdia on August 17: Clear Skies, Warm Nights – A Perfect Beach Day

Clear skies and summer vibes in Alcúdia on August 17

If you're still undecided: pack your towel and head to the coast. On Tuesday Alcúdia shows its relaxed side — blue skies, hardly any clouds and just the right sea breeze to keep your beach umbrella in place. Early risers on the Passeig Marítim will hear the seagulls, the soft clack of sails and the first cafés setting their tables; the day starts warm and stays that way. See Alcúdia breathes: Blue sky and a light sea breeze entice you outdoors.

Temperatures: Sunny but bearable

The temperature curve is typically Mediterranean: by 08:00 it's already around 28–29 °C, rising to about 32–33 °C in the early afternoon. Late afternoon the thermometer drops back to a pleasant 29 °C — enough heat for a long day at Platja d'Alcúdia without it becoming stifling. Ideal for families, cyclists and boat outings, as noted in Alcúdia on August 10: Sun, Sea and a Touch of Summer Evening.

Feels-like temperature and planning your day

The feels-like temperature reaches about 33 °C between 13:00 and 15:00. If you want to avoid the midday heat, use these hours for a tapas stop in the fishermen's quarter or a shady spot under the Aleppo pines. In the late afternoon values fall to around 30–31 °C, and the night stays warm — just under 30 °C — perfect for a terrace barbecue or a glass of wine at the harbor.

Air pressure, humidity and wind: the recipe for a pleasant day

Air pressure is about 1014 hPa, humidity is moderate at around 42% — so neither muggy nor oppressive. A light northeast breeze blows (roughly 55–60°) with an average of 5.4 m/s and occasional gusts up to 6.9 m/s. Enough wind to give some hold to beach umbrellas, but not so strong that paddling or SUP gets spoiled.

What to put on your day checklist

The advice is simple: bring sun protection — especially between 12:00 and 16:00 — keep a water bottle cool and take a light jacket for the evening. Cyclists will enjoy the dry-warm air, boat owners the calm conditions in the harbor. And if you stay on land: the Passeig Marítim invites a leisurely evening stroll when the boats reflect their lights and the sound of the waves rolls softly ashore.

Tips for different plans

For families: the shallow bay at Platja d'Alcúdia remains a safe choice — child-friendly, with plenty of shade and cafés within walking distance, as covered in Alcúdia on August 6: Warm, partly cloudy – a perfect day for the beach and the old town. For active holidaymakers: early bike rides along the Costa de los Pinos are especially pleasant now. For romantics: the sunset behind the old harbor is a small, free cinema night — better with a portion of Ensaimada than popcorn.

In short: A very summery but pleasant day in Alcúdia: clear sky, warm daytime temperatures and mild nights. Perfect for the beach, bike tours and a relaxed evening by the water — and yes, sunscreen belongs in every bag.
