Rainy Day in Alcúdia — 30 September 2025: Calm at the Port and Time for Cosiness

A rainy day that lets Alcúdia take a short breather

On 30 September 2025 Alcúdia shows its overcast side: thick clouds, frequent showers and a port promenade that has traded its usual chatter for the soft sound of raindrops. The beach loungers are wet, the seagulls stand in sparse groups on damp posts and look a bit put out by the drop in visitors — who wants to bake sand cakes, anyway? A similar mood was described in Pleasant Autumn Day in Alcúdia: Drizzle Instead of Storm — Leisurely Hours at the Pier and Old Town.

Temperatures and how it feels

It stays mild: daytime temperatures range from a low of 20.1 °C to a high of about 22.4 °C. In the morning thermometers show just over 20 °C, at midday it’s around 21.4 °C, and in the afternoon it settles near 21.6 °C. In short: no cold shock, rather that typical, cozy September dampness where you keep your jacket on but don’t need a heavy coat. It echoes reports such as Alcúdia on October 11: Rain jacket, café and mild late-summer feeling.

Wind, air and rain — the hard facts

The wind picks up from a northeasterly direction (roughly 45°): on average about 5.7 m/s with gusts around 7.7 m/s. Humidity is a noticeable 62 %, air pressure hovers around 1020 hPa. And the chance of rain? Practically 100 % — so waterproof bags and a sturdy umbrella are worth their weight in gold today.

What this means for the day

Walks along Platja d'Alcúdia or a shopping stroll across the Plaça Major need a slight course correction: slow down, take the pace down a notch, and pick a cozy café with an awning or covered terrace. Restaurateurs on Avinguda Joan March are stacking chairs away, but many still open — just with covered seating and maybe an extra hot coffee on the menu.

Tips for trips and activities

The morning market appears surprisingly lively under umbrellas: conversations get closer, handshakes less frequent, smiles more common. Birdwatching enthusiasts will find good conditions in the Albufera of Mallorca — the moisture brings migratory birds closer to the shores, although the paths are muddy and slippery in places. Rubber boots or sturdy shoes are more useful today than flip-flops.

What to do differently today

Use the rainy day for things that usually get postponed: a museum in Alcúdia, a small tapas tour under an awning, or a quiet photography hour without the usual harsh shadows. For families, a visit to the old city wall is a charming alternative — the stone alleys now smell of wet lime, and the atmosphere is almost cinematic; see also Rainy Day in Alcúdia: Pack an Umbrella, Enjoy the Old Town.

Local mood and small opportunities

Days like this are for many locals a welcome break from the tourist hustle: café owners talk about regulars who suddenly have more time to chat; market vendors rearrange their offerings and try out new products. For businesses, rain often means finding creative solutions, offering weatherproof terraces, and keeping customers with little extras like hot zabaione or improvised blankets — a chance to strengthen ties with the neighborhood.

Practical final notes

So: bring a plan B, rubber boots or sturdy shoes, an umbrella and an open heart for cozy hours. If you want to walk, choose sheltered times in the late morning — often the heaviest showers come in short, intense episodes. And maybe the best thing about a day like this is the surprising calm: the sea sounds a bit muffled, the streets are emptier, and the island shows a more intimate side.

Stay dry, Alcúdia — and let’s cautiously hope: tomorrow there might be more sun again.
