Cala Rajada today: Clouds, wind — and a perfect walk by the sea

Clouds, but no reason to stay indoors

In Cala Rajada the sky is more overcast than bright blue today — about 58 percent cloud cover, but there is no sign of rain, as reported in Cala Rajada: Cloudy but dry — around 25 °C in the afternoon. For many island visitors this is an invitation rather than an annoyance: no heat alert, soft light for photos and a pleasant temperature that invites walking, sightseeing and having coffee on the promenade. You can hear the seagulls louder than usual when the fishermen return to the harbour — a familiar sound that belongs to a typical autumn day on the northeast coast.

Temperatures and how they feel

The numbers stay calm: in the morning the thermometer reads around 23.2 °C, rising to about 26.4 °C during the day. In the afternoon the air settles around just under 26 °C, and at night it cools only slightly to about 24.4 °C. The perceived temperatures are only marginally different — around 23.3 °C in the morning and about 26.2 °C by day. In short: it's warm enough for a t-shirt, but pleasant if you have a light jacket with you.

Air, wind and sea

Air pressure is around 1015 hPa and humidity is about 59 percent. A south-easterly wind (about 155°) blows at a moderate average of 6.9 m/s, with gusts occasionally reaching 7.5 m/s. That's enough for sailors and kite flyers to have fun; walkers will at most notice their hat being adjusted or blown away. The sea is currently calm enough for many boat trips to go ahead as planned — however, it's worth checking briefly with the harbour before you board.

Things to do today

With no rain expected, the coastal paths are ideal: the route from the harbour towards Capdepera rewards you with sea views, the scent of salt and pine and occasional photo stops. If you're looking for sunshine, use the midday hours — that's when the sun is most likely to break through and create patches of light on the rocks. For evening walks the muted light in the late afternoon is particularly recommended: the cliffs at Cala Agulla then look sculptural, with colours and shadows gaining depth. This relaxed autumn feel is described in Cala Rajada in Early Autumn: Clouds, Warm Air and the Lingering Sea Breeze.

Practical tip: a light wind jacket is sensible, especially if you plan to go on a boat or stay out into the evening. Also pack a bottle of water and wear non-slip shoes for the rocky paths. Cafés on the promenade gladly open for late breakfast guests — the café latte tastes almost better in the fresh air.

Local moment: If you're walking along the Paseo Marítimo this afternoon, you can watch fishermen hauling their nets from the boat while seagulls circle to accompany their return. Not a weather fact, but a piece of everyday life here that belongs to Cala Rajada.

Conclusion: Not a midsummer sun day — rather a mild, pleasant day with wind and character. The weather is just right for walks, coastal photography and relaxed boat trips. Enjoy the day and let the sound of the waves and seagulls guide you.
