Cala Rajada on September 22: Rainy but Cozy

Cala Rajada on September 22: Rainy but Cozy

Autumn is creeping in, but instead of a cold snap it brings a quiet, wet embrace today: on September 22 Cala Rajada appears grey, damp and surprisingly cozy. The island morning sun has taken the day off; in its place there are thick clouds and sporadic moderate showers. If you're at the harbour you can hear the steady clatter of umbrellas, smell wet cobblestones and see more rubber boots than flip‑flops; for a slightly sunnier follow-up check Cala Rajada on September 24: Mix of Sun, Showers and Mild Temperatures.

Temperatures: stable and mild

The thermometers stay relaxed: daytime values are around 21 °C to 26 °C. On my Paseo Marítimo the mercury read a civil 22 °C in the morning and hardly rose much higher. The typical late‑summer hush in the air is noticeable – warm enough to skip a heavy coat, but with a damp feel that invites a light jacket. Similar mild, rainy conditions were covered in Weather in Cala Rajada on September 8, 2025: Showers, Mild Nights and Café Atmosphere.

Wind, humidity and the overall picture

A moderate northeast wind (about 39°) pushes clouds over the bay, with gusts around 9 m/s. Atmospheric pressure is about 1014 hPa, and humidity brushes the 80% mark. That explains the compact cloud cover and the 100% overcast this morning – perfect for short, sharp showers now and then.

How it feels and what to bring

The perceived temperature hardly differs from the measured one: mild but damp. Practically that means: a thin rain jacket, sturdy shoes and perhaps a shawl for the shoulders are more than enough. The promenade can become slippery after a shower, so stroll carefully. For homeowners: terrace tiles will stay wet longer today, and lightweight furniture quickly acquires a gentle "pattering" ambiance. For official hourly updates consult Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) forecasts.

The charm of a grey day

A rainy day changes Cala Rajada's picture: fishermen in the harbour clatter rigging, seagulls call louder against the grey sky, and cafés fill up. The little corner at the Passeig, at the junction with Carrer Sant Vicenç, smells of freshly brewed café con leche and warm bocadillos. An author sits by the window, children find puddles, and the patter of drops on the roof is nearly calmingly meditative. More on the town's layout and history is available at Cala Ratjada (Wikipedia).

Tips for the day

If you want to stay outdoors: plan short loops along the water and have a plan B for indoor options. Art lovers can find a small museum in Artà with pleasant exhibition space, and the tapas bars in Capdepera are a great refuge if the weather turns worse. A warm soup or a glass of Moscatel at the harbour café makes any shower more bearable.

Short outlook

More showers are likely in the next 24 hours, with occasional clearings possible. It remains mild, so no dramatic weather shifts are expected – more the pleasant, wet calm you don't see every day on Mallorca; see also Unsettled Day in Cala Rajada: Rain and Fresh Breeze on September 10.

Stay dry and enjoy the quiet corners of the coast: Cala Rajada reveals on rainy days sides that often disappear in high summer – quiet, slightly melancholic and decidedly charming.
