Heavy Rain Shower Hits Cala Rajada on September 9 – What Locals and Visitors Should Know

Short warning from Cala Rajada

On Tuesday, September 9, forecasts suggest we should not forget our umbrella. It doesn't come out of nowhere, but it will be fairly strong: thick clouds, persistent rainfall and a brisk breeze from the sea.

Temperatures – warm but subdued

The range according to measurements is about 18.8 °C in the cool night up to around 26.5 °C during the day. In the morning it feels just over 23 °C, in the afternoon the temperature signal sinks toward 22–23 °C and in the evening you notice the air cooling at about 19 °C.

How it feels

The so-called thermal sensation plays along: humidity makes the air feel heavier, so 23 °C doesn't necessarily feel light. For beach strolls without swimwear that's okay – with wet shoes probably not.

Wind, pressure, humidity

The values read as follows: air pressure around 1014 hPa, humidity high at about 82 %. The wind comes from the northeast direction (~64°) with an average speed around 8.4 m/s, gusts up to just under 9.4 m/s.

Clouds and probability of rain

Cloud cover complete: 100 % cloudiness and the models give a rain probability of 100 %. In other words: it will stay wet for a while, not just a short shower.

Practical tips for the village

If you're in the town center (Passeig Marítim, Carrer Cala Agulla or at the small market on Plaça) plan: cafés won't close, but the chairs are moved inside. Fishermen at the mole pull the boat ashore earlier, and walking paths can be slippery.

Traffic and safety

Watch out for puddles and temporary road closures in low-lying areas. Small streams at the outskirts react quickly. If you're out this afternoon: slow down and keep distance. Some side streets are narrow and collect water.

Quick tip: A sturdy umbrella, waterproof shoes and a light rain jacket usually suffice. For boat trips, caution is advised – ask the provider in advance.

In conclusion

The rain is good for vegetation, the air smells of sea and wet earth. It may sound dramatic, but it is also an opportunity: a rainy stroll, a quick coffee at your favorite café and then back home. Take care, and if something unusual happens, local authorities and the port should inform you in time.
