Thursday's yellow alert for high temperatures in Mallorca applies to the island's centre and north - highs up to 37C.

While the met agency is suggesting that a depression in the Atlantic will bring cooler temperatures from Monday or Tuesday, this cooler weather may not immediately be apparent in Mallorca. Weather stations on the island are continuing to forecast highs of 39, and these now include Tuesday next week. Muro is one of these weather stations; Muro, incidentally, holds the record for the highest temperature ever registered in Mallorca - 44.2C in July 1994.
