Santanyí: A Summer Day to Enjoy — Market, Sea and a Mild Evening

Sunny and relaxed morning, light cloud in the afternoon

Santanyí wakes up on this August 18 to the gentle sound of shutters and the scent of freshly baked ensaimada. The morning starts pleasantly: at 9 AM thermometers show around 26 °C — ideal for a café con leche on the Plaça, without immediately seeking shade. The weekly market offers the typical mix of chatter, the clatter of shopping nets and the occasional honk of a delivery van. This scene is also described in Santanyí: Moderately cloudy, warm and perfect for the weekly market.

Temperatures and feels-like values

The day will be warm overall, without being excessive. Similar notes appear in Sunny Friday in Santanyí: A mild late-summer day to enjoy. A maximum of about 32 °C is expected, in the afternoon values drop moderately to around 30 °C. The night remains mild at about 27 °C. Important is the difference between official values and what we actually feel: the apparent temperature can reach up to 35 °C during the day, a touch hotter than the thermometer indicates. Those sensitive to heat should therefore take a break in the shade especially between 1 and 4 PM.

Wind, humidity and a small weather picture

A light west-northwest wind blows at approximately 4.6 m/s from about 288° — enough to let the plane tree leaves on the Carrer Major rustle gently and to keep the stalls on the Plaça pleasantly ventilated. Gusts can briefly reach up to 6.8 m/s. Humidity is around 50 %, air pressure about 1012 hPa. Cloud cover remains moderate, estimated at 38%, rain is unlikely — a classic, reliable Mallorca summer day.

What the day offers: beach, town and harbor

Those who want to spend the day by the sea will still find peace in the morning at Cala Santanyí or Cala Llombards. The cove then almost feels secret: just the quiet lapping of water, a few children's voices and the crunch of sand underfoot. Pack sunscreen, enough water and perhaps a small towel — shaded spots are scarce on the smaller coves. For official visitor information see the Official Mallorca tourism site.

For a town stroll, the shady lane of the Carrer Major is recommended. Between the old façades it is pleasant to wander, and the small cafés invite you to take a break. In the evening, when the light softens, the plaza is a good place for an early dinner: tapas, a glass of wine and the relaxed bustle of the locals — typically Mediterranean.

Small practical advice for the day's schedule

Market in the morning, then beach or a quiet walk along the harbor promenade. Photographers will find lovely motifs around 7 PM: the fishing boats returning, the light on the water and the last sunbeams before night embraces the quay. It's often precisely those moments that freeze beautifully with a camera when not too many people are in the way.

In short: no weather alarm, just a typical summer day in Santanyí — warm, friendly and with plenty of opportunities to find your own rhythm. Whether you start the day at the market, doze on the small beach or end the evening overlooking the harbor: Mallorca shows itself from a very pleasant side today.
