Weather Whims in Port d'Andratx: Sun, Drizzle, and Mild Temperatures

A Day with Two Faces on the West Coast

Port d'Andratx is doing today what the coast in October loves to do: sunshine and drizzle. It feels more like late summer than autumn—the temperatures stay pleasant and invite a stroll along the harbor, as long as you have an umbrella or quickly duck into the next café.

How warm will it be?

The thermometers fluctuate only slightly. After the morning low of about 20.7 °C the mercury climbs during the day to around 23.8 °C. In the afternoon you notice a slight cooling (about 22.7 °C) and at night it stays mild at around 21.1 °C. In short: no big temperature jumps, more a steady, uncomplicated climate.

Wind, air and rain probability

Wind comes from the northeast (about 68°) and blows with a noticeable 6 m/s, gusts up to 7.4 m/s are possible. Humidity around 61%, air pressure around 1020 hPa. And a cloud cover just over half the sky — therefore the chance of rain today is about 78%. That means: drizzle and brief showers rather than a continuous downpour.

For newcomers: this is a typical October mix here. The waves stay moderate, sailors often ease off a notch, and in the town center you hear the clatter of awnings when gusts occur briefly.

What to do when it mists?

My tip from the harbor breakfast table: head to one of the street cafés. A hot Café con Leche, fold the newspaper, and listen to the soft patter of raindrops — sounds cheesy, but it works. Walks along the breakwater are possible as long as you don't forget the right rain jacket. For families: rubber boots are more fun here than you think.

Short-term the picture often changes. A sunny spell, five minutes later a drizzle. Those who stay flexible can enjoy the day outside. For more concrete plans it's worth looking at the hourly forecast, especially if boat or golf plans are on the agenda.
