Summer storm hits Mallorca on Thursday

Mallorca awoke this Thursday morning to the sound of rolling thunder and skies cloaked in thick grey clouds. The early morning hours were dominated by a strong summer storm that brought heavy rain and significant lightning activity across much of the island. The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) issued a yellow warning for storms and intense rainfall in both Mallorca and Menorca, in effect until 10am. Photos by Teresa Ayuga & Miguel Ángel Antich.
