Alcúdia Today: Summer, Gentle Breeze and Playful Clouds

A light summer morning in Alcúdia

The day begins in Alcúdia with a pleasant warmth: around 23–24°C in the morning invite you to have breakfast outdoors. On the promenade you can hear the seagulls, occasionally the clatter of a boat in the harbor and the bells of the old town – a typical island sound that instantly lifts the mood. Today the sun mixes with a loose layer of clouds, so the light alternates between dazzling and soft, as in Alcúdia on August 10: Sun, Sea and a Touch of Summer Evening.

Temperatures that make you want to be outdoors

That means: sunbed time instead of a sweaty ordeal, siesta instead of perspiration, and in the evening enough freshness left for an al fresco dinner—conditions similar to Alcúdia on August 17: Clear Skies, Warm Nights – A Perfect Beach Day.

The breeze – small but pleasant

A steady wind from the southeast of about 7 m/s is blowing. That's just the right amount to ruffle hair and shirts lightly without blowing the sand around. Ideal for walks along Port d’Alcúdia, a bike ride along the dunes, or for sailors who prefer a relaxed cruise, as noted in Alcúdia breathes: Blue sky and a light sea breeze entice you outdoors.

Clouds for beauty, not a drop of rain

Cloud cover is around 48%, but rain is not on the horizon – 0% chance. So leave the umbrella at home; it only serves as sun protection if anything. Instead, it's worth watching the play of shadow and light: the pine trees cast wild patterns on the paths, and the sea sparkles in changing hues.

Why this day is so good for Alcúdia

This weather is a bit of an all-rounder: enough sun for the beach and photos, enough clouds to break the heat, and a breeze that makes everything bearable.
