Santanyí: Late Summer at Its Best

Santanyí welcomes September with sunshine

The market square was already lively early this morning, even though many vendors were packing up their stalls. The air smelled of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries — a classic start to a Mallorcan morning. The church bell rang shortly after eight, seagulls called from the coast, and the sun took command: jackets stayed in pockets. Similar late-summer mornings were reported earlier in Mild Late-Summer Weather in Santanyí — a Cozy, Dry Thursday.

Temperatures during the day

The day began pleasantly warm at around 23 °C in the morning. At midday the thermometer climbed to about 27 °C, and in the afternoon temperatures held around 25–26 °C — ideal for outdoor activities. Those who stay out in the evening will hardly notice a sharp drop: the night remains mild, with values around 24 °C. In short: an extended summer without excess, much like Gentle late-summer day in Santanyí: Weather for 8 September 2025.

How it feels

The sun is strong but not oppressive. The air is more dry than muggy, with a pleasant humidity around 45–50 %. In the morning the sun warms you, in the afternoon the light turns golden and flatters the old town's stone. On the promenade an older lady read her book today and said: “You hold on to days like this.” A sentence often heard here — people appreciate this transition between high summer and autumn.

Wind, air pressure and chance of rain

Air pressure is stable at about 1017 hPa. A light to moderate wind from the south to southwest blows at around 5 m/s, with stronger gusts only occasionally. The sky is nearly cloudless (only about 1–5 % coverage) and the chance of rain is practically 0 %. So: pack sunscreen, bring a bottle of water — but you can leave the umbrella at home.

What to do in Santanyí today

The options are almost like a menu: a relaxed coffee at the town hall square, a stroll through the old town lanes, or a short beach break at one of the coves. Cyclists will enjoy a tour along the coastal road — little traffic, plenty of light and sea views. Those seeking quiet will find shady paths inland among cork oaks and dry-stone walls; the rustling leaves are the best companion here.

A small, honest tip

The sun still has plenty of power late in the afternoon. A hat and sunscreen are therefore not a fashion question but sensible companions. If you start the day like I did with a local specialty: the warm brioche in Carrer Major was particularly good today — perfect with a small café con leche. And if you head to the beach later: a light sweater for the evening is pleasant.

Outlook: If September continues like this, the island will remain in a golden transition phase for a long time — pleasant for locals and visitors who appreciate the slower side of Mallorca. So get out into the fresh air, take a deep breath and soak up a little September sunshine, as seen in Santanyí on September 21: A mild autumn day to recharge.
