Another day with a mix of cloudy and sunny spells, weather stations suggesting that the best of conditions will be in northern and western areas. There’s a risk of rain later in the day and a much higher one over the weekend.
Weather reports for the past few days have indicated a deterioration on Saturday, and the forecast is currently a high probability of rain and thunderstorms on both Saturday and Sunday. Aemet has issued yellow alerts for rain (up to 25 litres per square metre in one hour) and for thunderstorms in the south and the Tramuntana from midnight Friday up to 3pm on Saturday.
The met agency says that a DANA, more commonly referred to as ‘gota frÃa’ (cold drop), will develop and bring some occasional heavy downpours. At the moment the weather alerts are confined to two regions of Mallorca on Saturday, but it is possible that they will be widened and also issued on Sunday.
It will still be pretty warm on Friday, but the temperatures are due to fall to values below average for the time of year.
