Sóller welcomes August with mild summer weather

A mild August morning in Sóller

The first day of August begins pleasantly in Sóller: the thermometer shows around 23.9°C in the morning. The air is fresh enough for an early walk, the street cafés open and the bells of Sant Bartomeu ring out their first slow notes. Cups clink on the plaza, locals having breakfast exchange greetings — a small, familiar scene that makes the town particularly charming in these quiet hours.

Midday: High summer, but without drama

Around midday the temperature climbs to about 32.4°C. That's typical for a Mallorcan summer, but thanks to a moderate humidity of roughly 33% it feels less oppressive than on muggy days. Those out and about now prefer the shade of an orange tree, a spot on a shaded terrace or stay for a chat in a café. The tram to the coast switches on its lights, and the sound of the brake wheel still feels a little like a promise of fresh sea air.

Afternoon: Time for the beach or the tram

In the afternoon temperatures fall slightly to around 30°C — ideal for a cool-off at Port de Sóller or a ride on the historic tram across the bay. A light southwest breeze (about 2.7 m/s) carries the scent of sea and pine. A sun hat and enough water are a must; otherwise a lemonade, a jump into the water and the world instantly seems friendlier.

Evening and night: Balmy temperatures

When the sun sinks behind the peaks of the Tramuntana, the air cools to approximately 24.5°C. Evenings invite slow walks through olive groves or along the promenade. Ice cream in hand, the sound of the waves in the background and the distant clatter of the tram — this is what a good summer evening in Sóller feels like. The perceived temperature is also about 24.7°C, so you can sit outside for a long time.

Pressure, clouds and the little breeze

Air pressure is stable at 1020 hPa, ensuring consistent conditions. Clouds cover only about 29% of the sky, and rain is unlikely. The light southwesterly breeze makes the climate more pleasant, and the sky remains mostly blue — enough sun for bronzed shoulders, but also enough shade for a midday break.

Why this day is good for Sóller

Days like this are a gift: neither oppressively hot nor cool and changeable. For local restaurants and cafés it means full terraces without rush; for excursionists, relaxed beach hours or a cozy tram ride. The markets in the side streets also benefit: more people stroll, buy fruit and a handful of almonds, listen to musicians and linger longer.

And a small tip: Whoever enjoys the hour between afternoon and evening experiences Sóller at its best — the light becomes soft, the mountains warm in color and the sounds of the town suddenly feel closer and more familiar. An ideal day to slow down and take in the summer in peace.
