Autumn feel-good day in Alcúdia: clouds, mild air and sun-seeking on the promenade

Clouds, mild air and calm by the sea: this is how October 4 feels in Alcúdia

Not the kind of postcard weather, but exactly what many people here like: a typically Mallorcan autumn day with lots of gray, a pleasant climate and no rain. The promenade hums softly — seagulls, the clink of coffee cups, the distant chatter of tourists and locals. Anyone who wants to visit Playa d’Alcúdia or the old town today can do so with confidence: conditions are friendly and unexciting, much like Alcúdia, October 3: Cloud cover and a mild October whisper.

Temperatures: warm enough for a T-shirt, cool enough for an evening sweater

The measured values are in the comfort range. After a cool early reading of 19.3 °C, the thermometer rises during the day to around 25 °C. More specifically: about 20.4 °C in the morning, briefly almost 25 °C in the afternoon, then a slight drop to 23.85 °C and at night roughly 21.9 °C. That means: morning walks, afternoon ice cream or a stroll through the alleys — and don't forget the light sweater in the evening, especially at the harbor where the sea air is noticeable, following the sunnier report from early October in Autumn sun in Alcúdia: A golden October 2 for enjoying the outdoors.

How it feels

The so-called "feels-like" temperature is close to the official values: around 20.7 °C in the morning, a maximum pleasant 25.0 °C at midday, still comfortable 24 °C in the evening and a soothing 22.2 °C at night. In short: T-shirt during the day, light jacket for a walk on the Passeig Marítim. For dog owners this means a relaxed round on the beach without dusty heat or sudden downpours.

Air pressure, humidity and wind – the calm formula

With an air pressure around 1019 hPa and humidity of about 59%, the air remains pleasant — neither muggy nor dry. A light breeze from the northeast (around 33°) at moderate 3.33 m/s with gusts up to 3.47 m/s causes the cloud cover to break up at times. For sailors and fishermen this is no challenge; for cyclists along the coast it is a welcome refreshment.

Clouds and chance of rain

Almost 95% cloud cover sounds like a gloomy sky, but it is rather a soft gray with occasional bright spells. Practically no chance of rain — a blessing for local markets, construction workers and everyone who works or spends leisure time outdoors, unlike Alcúdia takes a breather: An autumn stop on October 5.

Why this day is good for Alcúdia

Such mixed days are a small luxury for the island: they ease the summer rush, let the town breathe and provide the cafés on the Passeig Marítim and the small pottery shops in the old town with a steady flow of visitors without haste. For local businesses, mild, dry October days are valuable — craftsmen can continue working, market stalls stay open, and restaurants have continuous guests who prefer to sit outside when it isn't too hot.

Tips for the day

Enjoy a late breakfast on the Passeig Marítim around 9 a.m. — the view of the muted sea is soothing. A short beach walk with the dog? Perfect. In the afternoon, a round through the winding lanes of the old town does good: small shops, cafés, the church bell and the soft murmur of locals create a relaxed atmosphere. In the evening: open windows, a light sweater, maybe a glass of local wine on the balcony; check AEMET weather forecasts for updates.

In summary: not spectacular weather, but a charming, quiet autumn day. Exactly what Alcúdia convinces with in October — cozy, down-to-earth and ideal for those who want to be outdoors without breaking a sweat.
