Around 10pm on Tuesday, Aemet put the whole of Mallorca on yellow alert for rain and thunderstorms overnight Tuesday. There was some rain for most of the island, with the heaviest (which wasn’t that heavy) having been confined to the southwest and to the southern Tramuntana.
The cloud took rather longer to clear on Wednesday than had been forecast, but once it did, the skies were clear, which is how they are expected to be on Thursday.
An anticyclone is now dominating, and clear skies should mostly prevail until Saturday. On Sunday, cloud is being forecast (very low risk of any rain), with a higher risk of rain on Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures holding up, with highs of 25 or 26C for the next few days.
