Palma Weather in September

September weather in Palma

September still feels summery, but it's less fierce than August. Afternoons reach 26°C, with warm evenings and humid air. Rain falls on about 10 days, so a shower can interrupt a beach day or a walk through the old town. There's still plenty of sunshine for swimming at Cala Major or taking the boat to the bay.

You'll have comfortable conditions for exploring Palma Cathedral and the lanes around La Lonja. Skip long, exposed walks at midday if the heat gets to you. Rainfall is close to October's, so keep some time for indoor sights, such as the Es Baluard art museum.

Events and crowds

September usually brings Nit de l'Art, when galleries and museums across Palma stay open for an evening of art. Dates can change, so check locally once you're there. The city also marks the Festa de la Mare de Déu de la Salut, a traditional celebration in September.

The August rush begins to ease, though Palma and its beaches remain popular. Prices often soften from the summer peak, but don't expect the quiet or low rates of winter. Couples who want warm evenings without August's heavier crowds may find September a good fit.

A local tip

Take the wooden train from Palma to Sóller for a change of pace. It winds through the Tramuntana foothills, where September's softer heat makes the views easier to enjoy. Back in Palma, try a coca de trampó, a savoury pastry topped with vegetables, at a bakery in the old town. Check the Nit de l'Art route before setting out; galleries are spread across several streets, and it's easier to enjoy the evening on foot.
