What’s Happening with Mallorca’s Weather This Week?
Thursday – Mostly Calm
Expect a mix of sun and clouds. There’s only a small chance of a stray drop of rain. Winds will be light, mostly from the northwest, and the island will feel pretty settled.
Friday – Still Warm
Conditions stay similar to Thursday. Temperatures remain above the seasonal average, and the breeze stays gentle.
Saturday – Possible Storm Arrival
A weather system known as a DANA cut‑off low (often called “gota fría”) may reach the Balearics. If it does, Saturday could bring heavy showers and stronger winds. Aemet has already issued an advisory for intense rainfall.
