Yellow alerts for rain and thunderstorms for the whole of Mallorca until 8am on Thursday, though by 7am there was little evidence of rain or storms. Up to five litres per square metre of rain on Wednesday (Pollensa), but not much elsewhere.
For Thursday, the situation, by and large, doesn't look too bad. Some cloud around but a good deal of sun as well. The weather stations, which on Wednesday hadn't been indicating much by way of poor weather overnight, do point to more stormy conditions on Friday, when there are yellow alerts for rain and thunderstorms from 8am to 8pm.
The image shown here does rather prove the point.

Alcudia 31C, gentle northeasterly breeze easing to calm.

The forecasts have been wrong far more times than they have been right this year over both falls in temperatures (always tomorrow!) and rain (always next weekend!), then neither happens. I'm sure weather forecasting is not an easy job especially on an island, but it does not really excuse the same site having different even contradictory forecasts/alerts on at the same time. Tourists book tours and boat hires based on the forecasts; forecast rain and they don't come or cancel! Surely they should do better!
How I wanted the forecasted rain. With a reduction of the continuous high temperature. Perhaps another day/night.
