Temperatures in the interior made 30C on Wednesday and they are likely to continue to for several days. With a high-pressure system dominating, a settled pattern is forecast to push these temperatures up, so 32C won't be out of the equation from now into next week. The average for the time of year, as previously noted, is 24C.
Thursday could see some cloud in areas in the morning, there may also be some fog, but it will otherwise be sunny everywhere. There was a wide range of temperatures on Wednesday, e.g. 22.4 in Banyalbufar against the 30.3 in Porreres, and this sort of difference can be expected to continue.
Note that the UV index for much of the island is nine on Thursday, the highest it has been this year.
