The stormy conditions are forecast to potentially linger overnight on Wednesday. There is a yellow alert for rain and thunderstorms for the Tramuntana, north and northeast until 8am Thursday. It should otherwise be a reasonable day, mostly sunny with some occasional cloud and temperatures ranging from 25 to 30C.
Friday and Saturday look ok, though there is a hint of rain on Friday morning and late on Saturday. We then come to Sunday. Weather stations are predicting rain – up to 80% probability – and quite a strong southwesterly breeze. It’s possible this could be a bit stormy and persist into Monday. Aemet hasn’t said anything about this yet; probably been too busy keeping tabs on Wednesday’s storm. As can be seen below, the weather wasn’t as heavy as on Tuesday, despite the island-wide amber alert. The hurricane force gusts certainly didn’t materialise (up to 7.30pm at any rate).
Regarding the radar image with this report, the met agency tweeted around 7.15pm to say that severe storms that hit Ibiza and Formentera had largely missed Mallorca and Menorca and were moving away. But as noted, there is still the weather alert into Thursday (and for the Tramuntana, north and northeast until midnight Wednesday).
