Palma: A Late-Summer Intermezzo on 28 September 2025

One last summer day — Palma breathes a sigh of relief once more

September clings to summer a little longer today: in the early morning the thermometers along the harbor promenade show a comfortable 21–22 °C, the sun peeks through a few harmless veil clouds and there is no sign of rain. Strollers with coffee-to-go on the Passeig del Born, described on the Passeig del Born Wikipedia article, nod contentedly — sweaters stay in the wardrobe today, much like in Palma: A Late-Summer Intermezzo on 28 September 2025.

Temperatures and course of the day

The weather situation remains stable: the forecasted highs briefly reach around 26 °C in the late morning, during the day it settles at about 24–25 °C and in the evening it cools down gradually to around 21–22 °C. So no heat wave, but no real autumn breeze either — rather a mild intermezzo, ideal for street cafés and promenades, similar to Palma in late summer: clear skies, mild nights and open terraces.

How the day feels

The perceived temperature stays comfortable practically all day: around 21–22 °C in the morning, a little warmer at midday at about 25–26 °C and mild again in the evening. A late ice cream, a walk along the Rambla or a round through the Mercat de l'Olivar — everything feels inviting today, as in Late Summer in Palma: Light Clouds and Warm Air on 21 September 2025.

Air, wind and small details

The air pressure is stable at around 1017 hPa, the relative humidity at a moderate 52 %. You won't be sweating, but the air isn't bone-dry either. The wind blows lightly from the south to southwest at about 3.6 m/s, gusts reach a maximum of around 4.2 m/s. For sailboats and coastal excursions that means: relaxed conditions, no hectic tacking, more a leisurely glide, consistent with Mild Late Summer in Palma: Clouds, Warmth and a Fresh Breeze.

And because we love local color: espresso cups clink on the Passeig del Born, seagulls chatter in the harbor and further out the sea sparkles in a convincing blue. Children kick a ball behind the Mercat, a cat dozes on the wall — this is what a relaxed late-summer day in Palma looks like.

Why this is good for Mallorca

Such mild late-summer days are a small blessing for the island: cafés and terraces fill up once more, small shops earn a last boost from terrace season and boat owners can often set out more cheaply and without heavy crowds. For locals these are precious hours to sit outside, meet friends or simply enjoy the sea before the change to autumn becomes noticeable.

Practical tips for the day

A small, not entirely serious tip: if you stroll along the Rambla in the afternoon, treat yourself to a glass of horchata or a local sandwich — outdoor seats are still warm enough. Those who want to go out on the water are well advised to take a short trip toward Portixol (see the Portixol Wikipedia article); the light southwest wind ensures calm waters, ideal for relaxed sailing or a SUP session.

Enjoy the mild intermezzo. Maybe pack a thin jacket for the evening, but leave the heavy autumn layers in the wardrobe for another week — at least until the nights really get cooler. I'll stay outside a little longer today: palms cast long shadows, the air smells of sea and bread from the bakery around the corner. That's how a perfect late-summer Sunday in Palma sounds.
