Mild Sunday in Santanyí: Clouds, Warmth and an Espresso on the Plaça

Mild, mostly cloudy Sunday in Santanyí

Good morning from Santanyí. If you stroll through the old town early today, as described in Santanyí on September 13: Clouds, warm air and cozy lanes, you'll hear the church's last bell fade, smell warm bread from the bakery and see fishermen sorting their nets in the harbour. The sky appears largely grey today — but don't worry: it will remain mild and dry. So you can safely leave your jacket at home, but not the espresso on the Plaça.

Temperatures and feel

The measurements are down-to-earth: Minimum about 24 °C in the early morning hours, Maximum around 28.2 °C in the afternoon. I measured myself at around 07:30 — still warm, but not muggy. The felt temperatures are slightly higher: mornings around 24.5 °C, during the day it can briefly feel like 29 °C, especially if the air stands still. In the evening the perceived warmth falls back to about 26 °C. My tip: bikini during the day, a light scarf for the evening stroll through the old town.

Wind, humidity and sea

Pressure remains stable at roughly 1016 hPa, humidity is around 62 %, which makes the warmth a bit more noticeable but still pleasant. The wind turns from S‑SE (about 159°) with an average speed of approximately 5.2 m/s. Gusts of up to 8–9 m/s are possible. For boaters that means: light chop, but no surprises for small boats — the fishermen in the harbour will nod in approval.

Clouds, sun and outlook

Cloud cover is roughly 68 % — a lot of grey, but with gaps where the sun peeks through. Sun-seekers should take their chances between about 11:00 and 16:00, as there are regular breaks then. Rain? Very unlikely. If a drop does fall, it would be more of a short visit than a downpour.

Practical info for the day

Anyone who wants to visit the weekly market today, as noted in Santanyí: Moderately cloudy, warm and perfect for the weekly market, should stick to the usual: around 09:00 the stalls are busy, the bread still warm, the conversations lively — and the Plaça fills with the sounds of market traders and neighbours chatting. Beachgoers in Cala Llombards or on Platja Es Trenc are advised: don't forget sunscreen, UV radiation remains noticeable despite the clouds.

For walks along the coast the weather is ideal: not a blazing sunny day, but not cool either. The sounds are typical for the area — gulls crying at the harbour, the distant roar of the waves and the soft chirp of cicadas when the sun comes out. Those who put a boat out from the harbour will experience a relaxed sea, with a few rippling waves and the familiar scent combination of seawater and olive wood.

In short: a day that invites strolling, market visits and a late swim in the sea if you wish. We'll keep looking at the sky and will report if anything really changes. Until then: a relaxed Sunday in Santanyí — with an espresso on the Plaça, if you like.
