The spokesperson said that waves of up to four metres high could be expected in the following hours. The Palma Met Office has issued a general alert for Storm Joseph.
This latest storm alert comes as the island has shivered through much of January with the Met Office saying that it was one of the coldest starts of the year on record. The only good news is that the island reservoirs are now almost 60 percent full after weeks of heavy rain.
