You can put your parasol away on Sunday and change it for an umbrella with the Palma Met Office saying that there is a 90 percent chance of rain. The hot weather is coming to an end which will be welcome news for many.
It must be remembered that the island goes on "heavy rain alert" from September 1. At this time of the year heavy rains are common. Locally it is known as the "Gota fria" or "Cold drop." So far this summer there have been two heat waves in Mallorca (both in July) and four on the mainland and it will go down on record as one of the hottest ever.
