Santa Ponsa: Clouds, warmth and a gentle south wind on September 2

Clouds, but far from umbrella alarm: Santa Ponsa feels mild

At the harbor you can smell the salt, hear gulls calling and the muted lapping of boat hulls – yet a continuous cloud cover stretches over the bay. No need to worry: it stays warm. In the morning the thermometer is around 20.9 °C, during the day it climbs to about 26.3 °C and even the night remains surprisingly mild at around 24.1 °C. Those who were out early on the Paseo saw joggers who preferred to wear a thin rain jacket – purely precautionary, nothing more, similar to reports in Santa Ponsa on September 17: Cloudy, warm and surprisingly dry.

Perceived temperatures and everyday tips

The feels-like values largely match the measurements: just over 21 °C in the morning, around 26 °C at midday. Shorts and T-shirts are still in fashion, but a light sweater for an evening stroll on the promenade or for dinner at the beach won’t hurt. Tip for families: pack an extra light layer if you stay until sunset – around 20:15 the air cools down a bit, as noted in Santa Ponsa: Mild and Lightly Cloudy — Weather on 8 September 2025.

Wind, air pressure and humidity – what sailors and beachgoers should know

The south wind blows moderately at about 5.4 m/s from roughly 174°. You can feel it pleasantly in your hair without deck chairs being blown away. For sailors: watch out for isolated gusts that can reach up to about 4.8 m/s. The air pressure is at 1017 hPa, the humidity at around 58 % – this creates a slightly sultry, but not unpleasant feeling. Sunscreen is still advisable; UV radiation is still noticeable in September. Local forecasts such as Santa Ponsa: Clouds, Warmth and a Calm Late-Summer Day provide similar details.

Clouds, chance of rain and an outlook for the evening

The cloud cover provides a soft, diffuse light over the bay. The chance of rain is a modest 16 %. That means a brief shower is possible, but no major bad-weather system is expected. The cafés on Playa de Santa Ponsa will mostly keep tables outside today – guests sit with sweaters, lights and still a few ice creams, because yes: ice cream always works, as seen in Santa Ponsa: Moderately cloudy but still beach-worthy on 21 September.

Photographers will be pleased: portraits look particularly good now because the harsh Mediterranean sunlight is absent and skin tones appear softer. The colors at the water are somewhat subdued, but often more atmospheric for that very reason. If you’re looking for a peaceful walk, you’ll find it now: September is the time when the season slowly winds down and the promenade regains some breathing space, as in Santa Ponsa on September 27: Mild, cloudy and ready for walks.

My advice as a local: plan your beach time without complicated umbrella logistics, bring a light sweater for the evening and perhaps a small travel umbrella just in case it gets briefly wet. Enjoy the soft light for photos or a cozy coffee at the harbor. And if you buy an ice cream on the promenade – treat yourself. Small pleasures often make these mild September days on Mallorca special.
