The regional office of the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) in the Balearics has updated its forecast and, finally, Mallorca has escaped the storm that will affect the mainland with heavy rainfall, particularly in the west of the mainland. In contrast, the island will get a taste of summer.
Aemet has indicated that no rain is expected this week in Mallorca and has reported that temperatures will continue to rise over the coming days. Temperatures will be ‘very or extremely warm for the time of year by the middle of the week’.
On Sunday, the average maximum temperature was 20.5°C, which was 1.7°C above the usual average. It is worth noting that in Pollensa the temperature reached 26°C and the island’s beaches were very busy.
On Tuesday, 7 April, partly cloudy skies are expected with intervals of high cloud from the afternoon or evening onwards. Temperatures will continue to rise. Meanwhile, the wind will generally be light and easterly, with coastal breezes in the afternoon. Stable weather conditions will continue on Wednesday, when intervals of high cloud and a slight rise in temperatures are forecast. The wind will be light and easterly, with coastal breezes in the afternoon.
Mallorca will not be affected by the storm that will bring a change in the weather on the mainland. Consequently, on Thursday there will be intervals of high cloud, tending towards partly cloudy skies from the afternoon onwards. Temperatures will remain similar or rise slightly. Furthermore, the wind will be light and easterly, veering southerly in the afternoon with coastal breezes.
