Rain and Fresh Air: Santa Ponsa to Be Cooler on October 11

Don't forget your umbrella: Santa Ponsa to get wet on October 11

In the morning at seven the last joggers along the promenade, by noon you can already hear rain on the roof: this is how Saturday in Santa Ponsa could unfold. The forecast for October 11 predicts widespread, moderate rain—not a cloudburst, but enough to swap beach towels for rain jackets.

How cool will it be?

The temperatures move in a modest range: early in the morning they are around 19–20 °C, during the day about 24 °C are expected. In the afternoon there’s a slight drop to around 22–23 °C, and at night the values hover again near 20 °C. In short: not a thermic miracle, but noticeably cooler than in recent days.

Wind, humidity and feeling temperature

A light to moderate wind from the east to southeast (about 7 m/s) brings fresh air from the sea. Humidity is around 60–65 %, which can make the weather feel a bit muggy. Air pressure remains stable at about 1023 hPa. Taken together, it often feels cooler, especially when the wind brushes over the bay.

What does that mean for everyday life?

For locals and visitors, that means: the plan for sunbathing and the beach should be postponed. Instead the small cafes on Avenida Rei Jaume I and the covered market halls invite you to linger. I personally like the combo: a late breakfast, then a stroll along the harbor with an umbrella, and in the afternoon a round of tapas in a warm bar.

Unlike during severe storms, the cloud cover remains somewhat permeable—sunlight windows can appear from time to time. Still: with a waterproof jacket, sturdy shoes and a small Plan B for indoor activities, the day can be well spent.

One quick tip at the end: If you’re riding a bicycle, gusts can be noticeable in spots—lower the saddle and secure bags well. And yes, a good espresso in a cafe corner helps chase the gray dampness.
