Damp, Mild Day in Santanyí – Umbrellas, Coffee and Glistening Cobblestones

Rain report from Santanyí: cozy, mild and gleaming

On September 10th Santanyí shows its quieter side: it's raining moderately, not a downpour but that steady dripping that turns the cobblestones of the Plaça Major into a little mirror of the houses, as noted in Día húmedo y templado en Santanyí: paraguas, café y empedrados brillantes.

Temperatures – pleasant, without surprises

The values stay comfortable: a low of around 20.5 °C and a high near 26.9 °C (see the AEMET forecast for Santanyí). Hourly, the morning starts at about 21.5 °C, rises just above 24 °C during the day, reaches around 25.5 °C in the afternoon and falls to around 23.3 °C at night. So: too warm to need heating, too cool for just a T-shirt if you spend a long time outdoors.

How it feels

The perceived temperature is close to the measured values – in the morning about 22 °C, during the day around 24.4 °C, in the afternoon just under 25.4 °C and at night roughly 23.1 °C. The increased humidity makes the climate slightly muggy but not uncomfortable. A light jacket and waterproof shoes are recommended today, especially if you walk down the cobbled paths to Cala Llombards – the steps there will be slippery.

Pressure, humidity and wind – short and practical

Air pressure is about 1014 hPa, humidity around 71 %. The wind blows from the west (around 269°) with an average speed of 6.75 m/s, gusts up to 8.27 m/s. Early this morning the market tent canvases fluttered, so secure bags and stall equipment — the market at the plaza under the pavilions remains open and invites you to stroll, as described in Santanyí under Rain Clouds: Gentle Drizzle Instead of a Storm.

What to do in Santanyí today

Days like this are ideal for small island everyday pleasures: a long breakfast at a café on the Plaça Major, a visit to the small ceramics workshop on Carrer de la Riba or a museum visit if you prefer culture. The weekly market has its own scent in the rain — oranges, herbs and wet wood mix into a distinctive aroma; local coverage like Rainy day in Santanyí: Pack an umbrella, enjoy coffee highlights the market ambiance. For farmers: check drying areas and tarps, especially for olives and dried herbs. For fishers and boaters, spray and moderate swells aren't a good companion today; smaller harbour tasks and net repairs are more sensible.

A small observation to finish

This morning I saw an old man in a sturdy raincoat and rubber boots on the Plaça Major, reading his newspaper undisturbed while umbrellas popped open around him. No need to hurry, I thought — Santanyí has that calm that light rain brings: streets glisten, voices are hushed, and for a moment the island feels closer.

So: don't forget your umbrella, wear solid shoes and maybe plan an extra stop at your favourite café. The rain offers a break from the summer bustle — and a few gleaming moments for walks through the alleys.
