A chance of some rain on Tuesday morning. Should all clear and give a fine and sunny afternoon, with cloud most likely to linger in southeastern areas. The weather looks to be set fair for the rest of the week - sunny and temperatures generally in the mid-20s but possibly reaching 30C inland on Saturday. Some rain on Sunday is on the cards at present.

On Monday there was rain but it wasn't particularly heavy. The met agency issued a yellow alert for the east of Mallorca at one point, but the worst of the weather was out to sea; the image with this report shows the storm and the lightning strikes in the early afternoon.
