Rain in Sóller on October 11: Umbrellas, Café and Muddy Trails

Rain, café and a bit of mud: Weather for Sóller on October 11

Anyone who opened the windows this morning already heard it: the patter of drops on the roof tiles. Nothing dramatic, but enough not to want to unpack the small umbrella only at the bus stop. The day starts fresh but mild at around 18 °C, briefly reaches around 23 °C at midday and falls again to about 19 °C in the evening. So: plan a light jacket and maybe take a warm scarf for the evening.

How warm will it be — and how will it feel?

Minima: just under 17.8 °C. Maxima: around 23.4 °C. Our snapshots show the ups and downs: about 18.1 °C in the morning, around 23.2 °C at noon, about 21 °C later in the afternoon and roughly 19.1 °C at night. The felt temperatures are close to the measurements — as long as it stays dry, it’s pleasant outside; once the showers arrive, it will feel noticeably damper.

Air, wind and chance of rain

Air pressure remains at approximately 1023 hPa, humidity is around 61 %. The wind blows gently from the northeast (about 55°) at an average of 4 m/s, with gusts up to 6.4 m/s — noticeable in exposed spots and by the sea, but not stormy. And yes: the chance of rain is 100 %. Light to moderate precipitation is expected, with occasionally heavier showers that can make paths in the Tramuntana slippery.

What this means for everyday life in Sóller

The market at the Plaça des Través at 09:00 will likely be wet — market women in rainproof jackets, scattered umbrellas and the scent of wet wood. See All-day rain and fresh breeze in Sóller on 13 October 2025 for a similar rainy market report.

The Cami de s’Arxiduc will be muddy in the afternoon; walkers should choose sturdy shoes. For more on what rain means for walks and local life, read Rain in Sóller: mild air, wet stone and café warmth.

On the Port de Sóller the wooden boards of the promenade are slippery; those who want to stroll there should go more slowly or sit down in a sheltered café with a hot café con leche. Our earlier note Sóller on October 6, 2025: Drizzle in the Morning, Mild Hours in the Afternoon includes suggestions for the market, the tram and the best photo motifs among the orange trees.

Practical tips from the locals

A small, sturdy umbrella, waterproof shoes and a light raincoat are your best equipment today. Cars need more braking distance on wet roads, and cyclists should be particularly careful in the narrow streets of the old town. A tip for photography fans: rain brings out rich colors — the oranges shine, the cobblestones glisten, and the Tramuntana mountains get dramatic cloud shadows.

Why the rain is also beneficial

Rainy days are not just a nuisance — they are a welcome break for the island. The soils store water for the coming weeks, the orange trees benefit from the moisture, and the air becomes cleaner. A drizzly afternoon also brings calm to the streets of Sóller: fewer tourists, more space for locals, a bit of melancholy that goes well with a hot bowl of cocoa.

In short: October 11 remains mild but wet. Listen to the rain on the tiled roofs, grab your umbrella and treat yourself to a hot coffee — and if you need to go out in the afternoon: check the AEMET weather forecasts briefly, as the showers can pass through quickly. The Tramuntana keeps its clouds; expect drops as long as they hang over the mountains.
