The heat alert for Monday has been widened and now applies to the whole of the island, the eastern region having initially been excluded.
Effective from 1pm to 7pm, the alert is amber for the south and the interior (39C) and yellow for the rest of the island - 37C in the Tramuntana and the north/northeast and 36C in the east.
There is an alert for the whole of Mallorca on Tuesday, with only the interior at present on amber alert. For Wednesday there is currently an amber alert for the interior and north/northeast; yellow for the rest of the island. Given the forecast there will be more alerts on Thursday; the island is experiencing genuine heat wave conditions.
The nights are very warm at the moment. Overnight Saturday to Sunday, the minimum in Portocolom was 26C, as it also was in Portopi (Palma). In Banyalbufar and Santanyi the minimum was above 25C, which qualifies as a 'torrid' night; 20C is the minimum for a 'tropical' night.
