A Strange Cold Spot
Early Sunday morning a weather station in Serra Alfabia recorded a low of -8 °C. That reading looks like an error; if it were real it would be a freakish cold snap for Mallorca.

Looking Ahead: Mid‑Week Trend
The overall pattern shows a gradual dip in temperatures by Wednesday, thanks to increasing breezes. The chance of rain has decreased, but a isolated shower could still pop up on Friday. Winds are expected to pick up later in the week, which will help take the edge off the heat.
Quick Tips for Teens
- Slather on SPF 30+ sunscreen and reapply every two hours.
- Stay hydrated – carry a reusable water bottle.
- Plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon when the sun is less intense.
- If you’re heading to the hills, remember that temperatures can swing dramatically, so bring a light jacket just in case.
Conclusion
June is starting off with classic Mediterranean heat across Mallorca. Expect plenty of sunshine, high UV levels, and warm nights in many areas. While the heat will ease a bit mid‑week thanks to breezes, stay prepared for strong sun and keep an eye on any sudden changes, especially later in the week when a stray rain shower might appear.
