Cala Rajada: Moderate Rain and Mild Temperatures on September 22

Cala Rajada on September 22: Rain, but not cold

\n

The autumn is slowly moving in and today, on September 22, Cala Rajada shows its gray but cozy side. The island's morning sun is taking a break; instead we expect dense clouds and occasional moderate showers. Those strolling today along the harbor will see more umbrellas than sandals, but no one here needs to freeze.

Temperatures: steady and mild

\n

The thermometer swings in a narrow range: daytime values roughly between 21 °C and 26 °C. In my neighborhood, on the Paseo Marítimo, the thermometer showed around 22 °C around 10 a.m., and by early afternoon the values hardly dropped. In short: no big swings between day and night, just that typical late-summer “hiss” in the air.

Wind, humidity and air pressure

\n

The wind blows moderately from the northeast (around 39°) with speeds around 9 m/s and occasional gusts. The atmospheric pressure is about 1014 hPa, the humidity is high – just shy of the 80% mark. That explains the compact cloud cover: everything is dense, 100% cloudiness, hence the high likelihood of showers.

Feels-like values and everyday tips

\n

The “feels like” temperatures are practically identical to the measured ones: a mild, slightly humid climate. If you're heading out in the morning, bring a light rain jacket and sturdy shoes; the promenade can become slippery after a shower. For homeowners: the terrace tiles won't dry as quickly today – an old balcony chair will thus share the day with a damp parasol.

\n\n

And yes, this may sound like a bad weather day, but it has its upside too: harbor cafés fill with people wanting to grab the little window nook. A hot Café con Leche, a book, and the comforting patter on the roof – I can honestly say it has charm. My tip: the small cafe on Passeig, at the corner of Carrer Sant Vicenç, currently serves surprisingly good bocadillos.

A quick outlook

\n

For the next 24 hours, more showers are expected, with occasional breaks in between. If you’re planning trips, pack flexible clothing and consider routes with indoor alternatives: a museum in Artà or a tapas bar in Capdepera are certainly comforting fallback options on a day like this.

Stay dry and enjoy the quiet corners of the coast – Cala Rajada also has aspects you don't usually notice in the rain.
