As had been forecast, temperatures were down on Friday. The day’s high was 4.4 degrees lower than on Thursday and there were examples of temperatures having been just over the 20C mark, e.g. 20.2 in Banyalbufar, 20.3 in Sant Elm and 20.6 in Puerto Soller. Yellow alerts for rain in the north/northeast and east (up to 10pm) were issued around 4pm on Friday.
Similar values on Saturday, still with a moderate mistral for a while. On Friday the gusts were strongest in the early hours. Should be pretty sunny for most of the island. A bit warmer on Sunday and also a good deal of sun.
At present, the forecast for Monday into next week looks a bit iffy. Medium to high probabilities of rain until Thursday at least. Temperatures holding up, though; around 23-24C, normal for the time of year.
