Autumn in Cala Millor: Light Drizzle, Mild Air and an Umbrella

Drizzle, the sound of the sea and a coffee-to-go: this is what autumn in Cala Millor feels like

The Passeig Marítim in Cala Millor — Autumn in Cala Millor: Light Drizzle, Mild Air and an Umbrella — was a quiet little spectacle this morning: seagulls cried, the sea gurgled softly, and regulars balanced their coffee in paper cups while a fine drizzle fell from the sky. Not a dramatic weather change, more that leisurely "we're switching seasons" feeling. For September 22nd it's almost like a friendly pause between late summer and true autumn, as noted in Autumn Drizzle in Cala Millor: Walks Instead of Sunshade Alarm.

Temperatures: pleasant, not overbearing

Official readings show a gentle range: night and low temperatures around 20.7 ºC, highs just under 26 ºC — a maximum of about 25.94 ºC was recorded. Specifically, measurements today were around 21.95 ºC in the morning, about 21.46 ºC during the day, slightly falling to around 20.87 ºC in the afternoon and near 20.76 ºC at night. That means: warm enough for a short walk on the beach, cool enough for a light jacket at an outdoor dinner.

How it feels, wind and humidity

Perceived temperatures hover between roughly 22.5 ºC in the morning and about 20.8 ºC in the evening — small differences you notice more in your throat than on your skin. Air pressure is around 1014 hPa, humidity is relatively high at about 79 %; that explains the damp film on the loungers at the beach. The wind comes from north-northeast (approximately 36°) at about 8.1 m/s, with gusts of similar strength. Not exactly a storm, but you may get damp hair with an open coffee.

What the day brings — and what you should pack

If you're planning a relaxed walk, this is the place: the sand is compacted by the drizzle and pleasant underfoot, lifeguard chairs are mostly empty, and the Passeig isn't crowded. Definitely pack a light umbrella or a thin rain jacket, as advised in Rainy Stroll in Cala Millor: Pack an Umbrella – Fresh Breeze Instead of Heat Haze — showers are short but can be surprising. Sunglasses and a light layer also make sense, because the sun appears from time to time.

For a coffee stop, the small café next to the church is worth a visit; here the clinking of spoons, quiet chatter and the occasional call of the seagulls mix into a very Mallorcan soundtrack. Dining outside in the evening? Plan an extra sweater — the temperature drops a few degrees quickly once the sun goes down.

Why this is also good news for Mallorca

Such mild, slightly wet days are not a nuisance but a gift when it comes to extending the season: restaurants and cafés still get guests, walkers spread out along the coast, and the heat stays away. A relaxed autumn brings income to the island without the hustle of summer — a quiet but welcome balancing act for Cala Millor — Wikipedia.

In short: not a weather storm, but a day to take a deep breath. Take your umbrella, enjoy the coffee on the Passeig and listen to the sea gently lapping — the seagulls already seem to like the new seasonal pace.
