Prospect of some sunny spells on Friday, and the temperatures are holding up, including overnight. The breezes are coming from the south at present and are therefore dragging in African air, which helps to explain why it is still pretty warm overnight. 'Tropical values' were registered in various parts of Mallorca overnight from Wednesday where temperatures didn't dip below 20C.

The breezes are forecast to switch and come from the north on Saturday.
