The heat shows no sign of letting up. Forecasters say Tuesday will be very similar to Monday, with partly cloudy or clear skies, some morning mist, and possible fog patches. Airborne dust from North Africa will also be present.

Sky Conditions

Partly cloudy or clear skies dominate, with mist and occasional fog in the early hours. Dust particles will be visible in the air.

Maximum temperatures could climb to 39 °C in the interior of Mallorca. In the south, east, north, and north‑east, highs will be around 36 °C.

Alert Levels

The Aemet meteorological office has issued an orange heat alert for the interior areas where 39 °C is possible. A yellow alert is in place for the southern, eastern, northern, and north‑eastern zones where temperatures will reach 36 °C. The Serra Tramuntana region remains without any heat alert.
